You might want to look in the directory trees under /usr/share/zoneinfo and /var/lib/yum/yumdb and reconsider that statement. Files in that latter tree can have over 1000 hard links, and there are changes there whenever you install/update/uninstall packages. rdiff-backup does a pretty horrible job of keeping the archive in sync with the source when there are changes, and regressing a backup makes it worse. I have an very complex audit that I run after every backup to put the archive back in sync with the source tree. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
