[nflug] backups on an nfs server ..on and on

[eric]

Cool, my server works great and it's really easy to recover files
....then I discover that my home dir is 60 gb and my network server has
only 170 gb of space, definitly not enough room for a mon-fri bkup.

Isn't their a way (through tar) to delta files like in SCCS? Is it
called increment?

Thanks,
Eric
