I am not sure what you mean by catalog?
I log the backups (list), it only does backup
for files that changed. I run daily, and then a weekly.
It actually mirrors the directories you back up.
I am mirroring the whole drive '/', so that if
I have to do a restore, I don't have to spend all that
time doing updates. I have to keep modifing my --exclude
files commands, but I think I am close, will try it soon on
a
spare RaQ.
