Hi Les,
yep, this is a solution, thanks. Anyway I can still see the backup 
record on the Web interface. This can lead to mistakes and I'd like sync 
what is in my archive dir and what is shown on the administration page. 
Well I can of course edit files in ~pc/archivehost dir but I'm not sure 
this is the right way to handle that.
Thanx
Davo
