Can someone please tell me which package(s) are for
backing up the Mandrake 10.0 ext2 partition (mirror image), and also for
restoringit, if needed? In Windows ME, I use PowerQuest's Drive
Image, which works extremely well, and I am looking for a good match to do the
same thing under Linux.

Hi,
If I want to backup KMail including Mail, Config, Filter Rules etc. Which
locations/files need to be backed up. I think that all the Mail is kept in my

Any ideas?

your configurations, rules/filter, preferences, etc are in kmailrc under
~/.kde/share/config/. You are correct about the other.

Hi,

I wish to backup everything on /dev/hda5 so I can

However since this happens to be the / partition I

When I do so, I get a message that XXX special files will not be copied.
What are special files? Does this compromise my backup? I wanted to

Special files are files that represent a device. You should read a book
about linux basics, it will be explained.
To make a backup, use the tar command instead of cp.

I thought there was a program on the Mandrake cd for backing up the MBR. Now I
can't find it. I looked on the cds for 5.3, 6.0, and 6.1. Am I missing
something?
