storeBackup isn't complicated, it just has lots of options you _can_ (not: "have to") use for finetuning ;-)
If you want to use the default options, simply run storeBackup -s /home/mydata -t /backup
I need some finetuning, because I backup more then one directory. For that I need to do work around it with `ln -s` in yet another directory. Then there are things I do NOT want to have included. Also I need to start writing scripts to do more of what I want (according to the EXAMPLES) not what I expect of a backup script. If I am going to that, I can better just write a backup script for me specifically. I am sure it is a great tool, but it is not one I would use in my current situation. Also strange that I did not find a word about restoring data, or at least not realy. What I found was: You can use this information to write your own tools to restore or to analyze the backups. For me restoring is more important then a backup. With so much information, at least 1 alinea about how restoring works should not be too much to ask. Sorry, not my kind of tool. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
