yeah, I thought there might be some kind of vendor doing it. I just don't think there are any 'linux' utils native that do it..
I don't know anything above X in linux as I have yet to venture that way besides a few times I have grown balls enough to install x here and there. so someone else will have to help you onthe mozilla thing.. if you have progs on home, you should really be doing a tar -cvf (-j/z) every night on it.. I can't tell you home many times I have restored a prog just because I try to make a big change and realize I got over my head with an idea of mine and needed a backup of it.. OR simply just got to crazy with the rm command that day for some stupid reason. > -----Original Message----- > From: R'twick Niceorgaw > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 1:39 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] OT recover disk after mke2fs -j ? > > > Hi Jeffrey, > thanks for the reply. > > Jeffrey Smelser said the following on 10/17/2003 2:20 PM>> > > you might get a few utilities, but I did that not to long > ago, and it was just faster to use my backup and restore it, > only took about 5-10 mins to get home back since I back the > entire thing up.. > > > > Btw, I don't think there are any 'linux' utilities for > this, you might get some software vender type stuff though. > > > > I take it you don't do backups? shame shame.. ;) > > > > > > right I didn't take any backups before.
