Ben, Is there any way to NOT exclude an rdiff-backup-data directory? We have a server running rdiff-backups at a remote location. We'd like to backup the whole backup repository to a central location periodically ... Can it be done? Thanks! --JP --- Jason Piterak CIS Technical Services 33 Main St., Suite 302 Nashua, NH 03064 (603) 889-4684 - FAX (603) 889-0534
