Basically I need to find out the backup dir for each laptop via an HTTP GET, then rsync on tht dir 3 times and then rebuild the metadata, right? Almost sounds like Bernie's 10 step tarball approach is actually easier here... :-/ Christoph </div></div> -- Christoph Derndorfer co-editor, olpcnews url: <a href="http://www.olpcnews.com">www.olpcnews.com</a> e-mail: <a href="mailto:christoph@olpcnews.com">christoph@olpcnews.com</a>
