So, I think that would mostly negate the transfer savings from using rsync. Possibly you could run RaqBackup.sh once a week. Then use rsync daily for the complete server files (excluding the /home/raqbackup/ directory ). ---- Ken Marcus Precision Web Hosting, Inc. http://www.precisionweb.net _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list Blueonyx@mail.blueonyx.it http://mail.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
