Reoback does not help with that very much, you're right. With reoback, you would have to know which day of the past week your desired file changed last or you need to do something like "tar -ztf archive.tgz". But for me, this is sufficient. It should also be quite simple to extend reoback to write some kind of logfile, where it captures the filenames of backed up files per archive - I'm not sure if this is already builtin and configurable... -- David Mayr, http://davey.de openSUSE LINUX, http://opensuse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
