thanks for the suggestion, but I've used almost all of tar's options over the past years :-) By /not/ using --exclude(-from) I can build my own file list with my own distinct options (like not backing up directories with a .nobackup file in it), this is this doable with --exclude but get's ugly very fast. So that's why I settled for --file-from. As you said in your other mail concerning this, you are working on it. Do you accept patches? grtz Miek
