If you are creating files in a way that preserves an old timestamp it will miss them. This might also happen if your PC clock is off since it probably uses the server's time for the check. > I tried usign rsync.

That sounds like an rsyncd doesn't have write permission or you aren't authenticating to it. For small restores you might find it easier to download a zip or tar copy through the browser interface and extract where you want it. -- Les Mikesell les...@gm... |
