tivoli has an ability to keep a specified changed versions of files that are still on the disk and a specified amount of versions for files that have been deleted (that is, if you overwrite a file 3 times, only two latest revisions are kept. if you delete it, only single last revision is kept. or the other way around). this also includes the ability to keep particular files for a specified amount of days. together this allows for a pretty flexible and hdd space efficient solution. ... -- Rich ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
