Well, I ended up rsyncing the root directory to the new server with the -H option and it seemed to work. I have 30 directories for 30 days of rotating backups. However, I had a dir called /Current that had 12Gbs and then all the /date directories had 120mb, 60mb, etc...the daily changes that occurred. Well now the directory called /01-01-2004 has 12Gb and /Current has like 100mb. I guess /01-01-2004 went first do to sorting. Anyway to change /Current back as the real directory? Or does it even matter? Thanks, Max -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
