Most importantly in my experience, ver 2.x has issues with long file names; also, it is less memory efficient and slower since I believe it reads in the entire file list before starting. The bottom line is that even though BackupPC doesn't use all the features of 3.x (it still uses the older protocol version), it can benefit from bug fixes, speed, and efficiency. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
