Dump your Catalog each day to a SQL file, as you are doing now. Each day, BEFORE you dump the catalog, move the previous day's dump into a subdirectory which is not backed up.

You would need to exclude /var/dumps from the usual backup then. You a quick thought :) Which DBMS is this anyway? -- professional: http://www.oscar-consult.de private: http://neslonek.homeunix.org/drupal/ -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

Reason is first tape would be full. i do full backups to disk, and also have fulls on the server. so i would need only the latest file on tape, just to be sure :) greetings juergen. -- The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.

I don't exactly get what you mean. If you dump daily to the same directory and run incremental over that directory, only the dump of the actual day should be backed up?!?!
