Re: [Networker] Conditional level full?

Well if you can check if something changed you can always schedule a full.

its a lousy answer.

How should legato know if something changed. There is the -E flag for both 
save and savegrp

     -E   Estimate the amount of data which will be generated  by
          the  save, then perform the actual save.  Note that the
          estimate is generated from the inode information; thus,
          the data is only read once.

and there is the -n flag for savegrp

    -n   No  save.   Cause  save  to  perform  an  estimate   as
          described  for -E, but not to perform any actual saves.
          This option also sets -m.

theoretical one could schedule a incremental (or level 5)  with the -n flag to 
estimate the backup

and in case there is someting to backup schedule a real full.

setting a timestamp somehere and running a find to see if there is anything 
newer on the filesystem (assuming UNIX here) and then schedule full seems 
also possible.

Maybe not so helpfull,
