The list archive is your > friend. Emn, sorry, that was supposed to be a joke... In my original post I said something like "I know, this most probably has been asked (many times) before, but since the questions are pretty generic, I don't have a very good idea what to search archives for, but any pointer to a thread in archive would be appreciated". I am greatful somebody took his time to explain a couple of things to me even knowing I will only understand a few percent strait away. And I am usually the first one to point others to list archives:-) It is easy to search for isp1761, but it is not so easy to search for "clone multiple trees reuse disk space..." I am greatful for any help and I can well understand those who decided not to repeat what they've already explained a 100 times before. > > ....
