Hi, The files in /var/lib/lrpkg can take the following extensions. .list list of of files to back up in full backup or in a partial backup if there is no .local .local list of files to backup in a partial backup. items are prepended with a 'I ' .help the text that is shown when one chooses the help menu from lrcfg. Also the first line shows up in lrpkg -l and in the web page under System Details .version the version of the package shows up in lrpkg -l and in the web page under System Details. .conf is a list of files to be referenced by lrcfg under Package Settings -> <package>. It is a list of pathname title pairs. where the title is the text you see in the menu of lrcfg <pathname> <title> .exclude.list a list of files to exclude. .bktype holds the backup type info so this will be remembered at next backup. (this is created by lrcfg, I think) backdisk holds information about what packages are loaded. One shouldn't have to edit this unless you are creating a package. root has a few other extensions that I haven't had to deal with but these are the ones that I have had to use when creating lrp packages.
