Dear Miek, 

In a quest for a nice and easy to use backup utillity I found your util,
hdup. I use it including the remote backup option, only I have this
weird problem. All backups seem to be full backups, allthough I started
with a monthly, then created a weekly and finished with a daily backup.
Since I dont have the space local on the box that I'm trying to backup I
dont know if it makes any difference when I make the backup local. 

On both boxes, the backup-server  and the box which needs to be
backupped I run debian, woody on the box which needs to be backupped and
sarge of the backup-server. Both use tar version 1.14 (tar (GNU tar)
1.14). 

I hope you got a answer to this problem, I also included the config
files for both systems.

------------- CONFIG BACKUP-SERVER -------------------
####
# config for hdup
####

[global]
archive dir = /data/backup2/
date spec = iso
always backup = on
skip = on
force = no
overwrite = on
proto = /usr/bin/ssh
proto option =  -q -oProtocol=2
user = operator
compression = bzip
compression level = 6
exclude = lost\+found/, /proc/, /dev/, /sys/
nobackup = .nobackup
log = yes

[max]
allow remote = yes
---END-------- CONFIG BACKUP-SERVER ------------END----
