[SOURCE:bradhome] chunk_size = 64MB path = /raid/bradfitz/ ignore = ^\.thumbnails/ ignore = ^\.kde/share/thumbnails/ ignore = ^\.ee/minis/ ignore = ^build/ ignore = ^(gqview|nautilus)/thumbnails/ and suppose i want to backup it up to another server with scp / ssh how is this attatined . secondly in whant format is the backup maintained . -- Regards Agnello D'souza -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
