I have a laptop with a 20Gb hard disk. I have just acquired an 80Gb external ieee1394 harddisk that I will use for backup and storage of some rarely used files.
I would appreciate some advises on putting the new space to use in the best way: - on backing up is it most advantageous to copy the whole disk image (dd ...), copy the file structure (cp -R ...), or do some synchronization (unison, rsync)? - what about special files (devices, etc) if I just do it / - are the any of the file system formats that are more suited for this use (than standard ext2)?
