Backups seemed to be going impressively fast; suspiciously fast. I finally figured out that it wasn't because it was a huge file that was being skipped, but that it wasn't ever being backed up / overwritten in the first place. Of course its size wouldn't change, but apparently a persistency file doesn't get its modification time changed when it's written-within. I never would have guessed.. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
