Do these two options really work together? Are you really getting incremental backups when you use the scripts you provide? I had to take out --atime- preserve to make the scripts work incrementally on a NeXT. Otherwise, level-1 seemed to dump everything accessed since the level-0, which of course includes everything on the level-0 dump. By the way, here's yet another hint for people using the NeXT workstation's builtin floppy drive: use --info-script='/usr/etc/disk -e /dev/rfd0a', and also insert the same command in the scripts at the bottom of the backup-dirs loop and also inside the backup-files conditional. -- Derek
