[BackupPC-users] Archive file name question/change

2007-01-28 Thread Timothy J. Massey
Hello! In digging into the archive system, I have a question: Is there a reason why archives made with "-1" as the backup number are saved as "-1" instead of the actual backup number that was used? If not, would you accept a patch that changes it to use the actual backup number instead (assum
