That might be tricky. rsync has the "--files-from=FILE" option, but geordy_backup doesn't bother, it just lists the files (actually only directories) in the script. The "sloppy" principle says that I won't list all the files I need, but that entire directories are likely to be enough. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
