+This means that LBackup may used to backup and monitor changes to a file system. However, please keep in mind that at present this system will not log deletions, only additions and modifications. If you need full trip wire functionality then it is recommended that you consider at dedicated trip wire tool.
+If you want LBackup to provide information on modifications (including deletions) this this is possible using a compare of the current and most recent backup directories. It is possible to create a post action script which will provide detailed off line trip wire functionality. If this is of interest in the development of this offline trip wire functionality then please register your interest on the LBackup [[mailing lists|discussion mailing list]] or [[http://www.lucidsystems.org/contact|contact the core development team directly]].
