Re: no archive

Thanks, I ran it but it returned nothing but I am thinking it is not 
meant to because now I have a:

tarsnap -vvv --list-archives
orientexpress-backup-16_11_2010.part    2010-11-16 14:42:40 
/usr/local/bin/tarsnap -c -v -f orientexpress-backup-16_11_2010 
/usr/CommuniGate /fileserver /usr/local/etc /etc

If I then run my tarsnap command again, but with todays date.. it will 
do the incremental backup and continue?

Thanks

Jurgen
