Locate?
Mmm..I'm having some odd trouble with the 'locate' function on a UNIX server. I know there is a file called backup.tar.gz, but I want to find it. I entered locate backup.tar.gz, but all it returned was the results that were already there. My mate was telling me that it is stored in a database. Is he right? If so, is there a way to update it? I had a look at the man pages for the 'locate' function, but I couldn't see anything refering to it.

Thanks
