Hi, All! Well, backup is working. I rewrote the script given to me by Glenn Burkhardt using idea of Brian (Glenn, Brian, Thank You!) with three main lines, in this lines I at first smbmount remote dir, tars it, and then smbumount it. I use "tar -u --file=Archive_name /backup/mnt". "-u" AFAIK is Update mode, so if you files will be added to achive if they change their edition time. But if I run backup for the first time, everything works wonderfull, but when I runit again without changing files in remote backup dir my tar file increases in size two times! (from 2.6M to 5.1M). Why? Does anybody know what is it ? My dumbness or gluk(sorry, bug) in tar? ..... Yours , Alex
