Rodrigo... 

... earlier in the year, say may or even round april...I recall having
this working somewhat...and experiencing the files w/spaces thing. then
moving and then katrina hit us pretty good and knocked me out of power
for a month and then getting back to this discovering that the whole
backup system needed rewriting. Now, granted, I am not pleased w/the way
that "-prune" acts and in clamav "--exclude" ...guess puzzled bout it is
the word. yep still have it not solved there yet BUT, I feel I gotta go
the way I am because of the time factor...3-4 mins vs 1 hr +-2-3mins.
Although I want to move past this find deal I would rather know exactly
what and why every detail works or doesn't. lol I'm in it too deep not
to!!! hahaha but it's a whatever deal
thx
