There are several ways to solve it on the server, from simple cron jobs to do the cleanup to more sophisticated solutions. But what if I don't have a server but e.g. just a USB disk? Then it has to be done from the client. Of course now you have full access to the backups and can do whatever you want. However that depends again on the operating system and maybe even file system or so. I don't want to (but maybe have to) implement various solutions depending on local/remote, source Windows/Linux, destination Windows/Linux etc. But thanks for your inputs, I may have to do some more thinking. bye Fabi -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
