2003-08-14 Thread Pablo Jejcic
Thanks to all. Basically, I need to save space on tape and time, becausee in the future I will need to add more fs to the tape and I don't want to use several per backup. I will try with the incremental idea, and if it doesn't work for me I will then try with gnutar. Thanks a lot! Pablo.-
