I've got a system doing dumps for me, both full and incremental, however i wasn't able to get a good understanding of the -h option from the man page. I currently do a 0 level dump at the begining of each month, followed by daily 1 level dumps. However, i'd really prefer the incremental dumps to only backup information that was not backuped by the last _incremental_ dump. As things are configured now, each incremental backup backs up everything that had not been backed up by the level 0 (full) backup. do i just need to do a -h0u or -h1u to get each incrimental to only back up files since the last incremental? (ie sucessively increasing dump levels). TIA Peter Brezny SysAdmin Services Inc. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
