You'd have to define 'better'. A tar archive is certanly easy to restore. You can even just pull in one file out of an archive. You can look into the archive interactivly with midnight commander. Personally, I use tar for all my backups. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
