I just stumbled upon BackupPC yesterday, so I amnot sure how good it can be because I haven't had time to test, but nothing stops you from looking at it, now that you are after a solution. Please see http://backuppc.sourceforge.net PS: If you do test it out, please come back and tell us what you feel about it. I personally will appreciate the feedback, even if to my personal address. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby." - Natalie Wood
