Yes.

At first, I could not see how sleep(1) could prevent the same file to get=
=20
archived twice. It will in fact not make any difference when using snapshot=
s=20
of live filesystems. But if there is a cycle: change files, dump, change=20
files, dump, ..., then it will prevent files to be archived multiple times.


And *maybe*, as I wrote in my first message, there should be < in the=20
statement further down. I actually suggested > there in my first message, b=
ut=20
that's clearly wrong. But I am not sure about < either, because I don't kno=
w=20
what that case is for. It does not seem to be relevant for dumplevels large=
r=20
than 0 anyway.
