I take it with incremental dumps being recovered, files deleted on the original are not deleted by the restore process on the target? I.E. there is no equivalent to rsync's --delete option? I have discovered for tar, its -g increment option does keep track of deletions. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Raines email: raines@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MGH/MIT/HMS Athinoula A.
