I should have said I was trying to backup the /home directory, although the exclude list hinted so. I was trying to cut the craps, not bring along a life long story, but apparently I trimmed too much. :-) Ok, fair enough. two pass is a solution. But I have to add every single user in my /home directory, and if there is change in account, i.e. more or less people, I'll be in trouble. Anyway, if that's the only solution. fine. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sf.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sf.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
