nssbackup has this functionality. The backup directory is created when set for the first time, and *no* directory will be created during backup. So, if the directory is not there, no backup is made. nssbackup is still in alpha state, however, and we're working on merging in sbackup (or its features) into it. Please have a look at https://launchpad.net/nssbackup if you're interested. -- Groetjes, Anton _____________ _______________________________________________________ | | | | _ _ ___,| K.
