CS> Actually, if you really want to us a new root.lrp, you do have to burn
it to a new CD (or boot off a floppy disk containing the new root.lrp).  As
an alternative, you can add root.lrp to the package list (LRP=root,...), but
this is kind of klunky, and I'm not sure a system setup this way would
properly backup root.lrp a second time.

Nope, it don't work.  I thought I'd try that after I messaged the group, and
what I got was 2 listings for root, neither of which would mount the
diskette to backup.  Even though the destination was the floppy, and it was
not mounted, backup failed.



CS> Probably the best solution would be to add the contents you wish to
backup (ie either the /root directory or the /root/.ssh directory) to a
package other than root (like sshd or local) and backup that package.

Ah, yet another way to skin the cat....


CS> To add files to a package for backup, simply add the file/directory
specifier (shell wildcards are OK) to the /var/lib/lrpkg/<package>.list
file.  If you want to include the files in a partial backup, you'll need to
add them to the /var/lib/lrpkg/<package>.local file as well.  See the CD-ROM
readme for details on the <package>.local file format, although you probably
just need to add an "I" in front of the filespec you used in the
<package>.list file (ie "I <filespec>") for the <package>.local file.
