this looks good, will check out the - switch on rsync command,
the idea has come from BT Datasure, how that in it self works!!!

Looked at unison but not so keen on the gui for windoze client, all I

what ever it needs to work on a 3 layer sync backup, just in case a data

and to all thanks for your reply
