You have to add the following capabilities to the system: * Tracking where files came from - including storing data, additions, deletions, and everything else - a new database really. MySQL anyone? * Unique identifiers for disks - including checking for the right one and error handling for the case when it isn't. This would be a big project to get right, requires a database with full database accessability, and identifiers for disks that are guaranteed to be right. What's more, what if you can't back the package up to the right disk but want to back up to a new disk - more functions. Seems like a lot of extra work to me.... but that's just my personal opinion... -- David Douthitt UNIX Systems Administrator HP-UX, Unixware, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
