Hello again,

I just found a possible reason for our problem. Our admin did a lot of
file permission changes on the filesystem.
I read in the docs that the complete contents of a file is backuped when
the file permissions have changed.
Is this really true?? Why is this necessary? Does this also happen on
Unix systems?

regards,

Volker
