Hi Jon and Joshua,

what immediate answers (under 1 minute :-)

my question was:
>>What, please, is a "DLE"?

You "Enter" the items you want to back up in the "DiskList".
Thus they are DiskList Entries.

General usage was to describe them as you did, partitions,
or file systems.  But in fact they do not have to be either.
They can be directory trees, or multiple trees, or trees
with some branches cut off.  So the more generic term, DLE
was coined.

And yes, it should go into the docs. Maybe not only into the FAQ, but
into all places, where "partition" is used now, using the usual
convention: name it fully in the first place giving the abbriavation
in parantheses, then continue to use the abbraviation, giving the full
name in parantheses on the first use, then continue to use only the
abbreviation.

Good guys, I got it finally

Georg
