Hi Lee,

Good suggestion to make another backup! I'll do it, but then, I'm
trying to play with this command:

$ find . -daystart -mtime -21 -printf "%f\n" | rsync -atI --progress
/media/S2/home/beco/ . -ni --exclude-from=-

But I'm not sure about the options to rsync. Do I need the capital I?
and also -t?

The files are exactly the same but for the excluded list. So I really
just need to update the dates.

Thanks,
Beco
