Agreed that is a problem with this approach. Or you have the code that locks wait for the lock to be freed does that help? Are you using flock in the script, then its a easy change. You still cannot ensure the order, but you can ensure that they will all run sequentially. Personally I encode the rules for my incremental vs. full backup into my hourly backups script. So I only have one timer. Barry
