However, 'root' has its own problems in that the word also describes a user on almost every *nix machine. The suggestion of not using a sharename for restores starting from the root; perhaps could be restated as something like " '/' characters shall be converted to '_' characters except for the leftmost one, which shall be omitted". this would end up omitting the sharename (or path or whatever it ends up being) if it's just '/'. > hostname_20110824_Full.tar or hostname_20110824_etc_home.zip (assuming the > restore is /etc and /home)...The only problem with that is the name can get > long and tedious. Suggestions on that? This may be a case where empirical testing serves better than theoretical wrangling.
