Thanks. I also found a nice explanation with a lot of examples here: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ A lot of good stuff in rsync. I'll have to rethink how things are done here... So far the only pain has been in permissions. We are very open here (yes, that can be bad), so I'm having to make liberal use of the cacls command in xp. ;) Nicola Perotto wrote: > Some rsync examples: > http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/examples.html > > > Dr Skip wrote: > -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
