There's nothing particularly magic about TM backups; the backup date/time is part of the path leading to the backup, anything you do inside that backup affects only that backup, aside from overwriting a file (you'd want to break the hardlink first if you only want it to affect that backup, and for that-backup-and-forward you'd need to re-hardlink the later backups with the original inode number). -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
