All, I *just* though of something. when doing a backup with hdup2 the following happens: 1. hdup walks the directory tree 2. generates a list 3. feeds tar the list 4. tar makes the backup Right now I'm looking a my backups and they are HUGE, ie. no incremental stuff is done. This could possibly be triggered by step 1, hdup only opens the directory and by doing that it updates some of the (a|c)-times or whatever times on the directory, marking it is a candidate for backing up. Does anyone know this is true? - if so, I need some simple "restore the times on directory" thingy to stop this from killing incremental backups... grtz Miek
