Not likely if tar has a usable limit of 2GB.



So it appears from the replies I've gotten so far that drakbackup is useless when backing up a /home partition that is anything other than very small. Is this a correct assumption? If so, has anyone any suggestions for a backup app that will work and work well with Mandrake?


Thanks



Use partimage.
Get it on the gentoo disc that you can download from their website.
You will need a spare partition to create the image file in and if you want you can
write that image to CD in a writer.
