Hi, But isn't it too haevy ? I mean, to 'pax' EVERYTHING every day ? My goal is to have more efficient 'backup', i.e. an incremental backup ? What about '-u' option ('don't copy if older'') ? Or '-k' option ('don't overwrite existing files') ? You know, I wonder, because you told me you are using this command lines in your real life! Maybe I miss something :-) ----------------------------------- Plamen D.
