i need help with a little program i am working on to make a incrimantel backup using shell script. i am trying to make a backup directory which is normally a subdirectory of the users home directory (eg. ~/backups). If a file (eg. sfile.txt) from the source directory already exists in the backup directory, then it must be renamed (sfile.txt.1) before the newer version is copied. This allows multiple versions of a file to be saved. However, multiple versions of subdirectories should not be created. i will be helpfull to you if you help me with this. if u could write a small program a prototype so that i can get help with. thanking you in anticipation. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
