Very        WV>> usefull! ;)               PQ> No. I've used mirdir for *over* a decade, and will continue to do so.

I've updated the two rsync scripts per your        PQ> suggestion, for completeness only. Mucha gracias.              I'm also using something similar in some old backup scripts: 'mirrordir',       which I don't think is the same as your 'mirdir'. Which also seems to suffer       from a 32 bit problem, because it doesn't handle files over 2GB in size.              Nowadays I always use rsync...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 103/705 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/17 229/107 275       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 616 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3828/7 5020/545       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
