I tried to post the following to the offender's blog, but got a message that his site doesn't allow comments from people coming from behind a proxy. I also couldn't find an email address Glad you clarified things Jeff, and thanks for your valuable contributions to open source. It seems Gerald may have made his mistake out of ignorance rather than any bad intent, and hopefully he will correct it by GPL'ing his (IMO inferior) adaptation and acknowledging you and the canonical location within his script. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
