Hi Voronich , In the OP, given `1. Convert the snapshot dir's datetime name to epoch 2. In the trip script apply the epochs to a parabolic function: y = x^ +2` [download] `x` is the epoch equivalent of the directorys' timestamp and `y` is the value on which the decision to backup (or not) is made - as determined by applying the function to the epoch. Is that of any help ? A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l] [select]
