I am not very good in these things, however I wonder what are you meaning under "hard-links trick" in this case. I have thought about several possible kind of backup strategy for private purposes. Once I got the idea to use hard-links for incremental backup on a large enough external hard drive. All the backups are in directories by their date. While creating a backup a file is hard linked and not copied if it exists in the last backup and have not changed since that. I don't know if this trick is in use by any already existing program. Do you or anybody else know such tools? Peter
