. . . have CRON Daemon do frequent backups of /home directory, using RSYNC script . . . like :- _______________
#!/bin/sh # # use rsync to backup /home to /dev/hda6 # mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda6 /mnt # df cd rsync -avr --delete --delete-after /home /mnt df umount /mnt cd

Just copy and paste that into shell using an editor?
Thanks

Further question. Have been looking at cron directories (I think anyway!). Have a long list of /etc/rc or etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.hourly and so on.
With regard to the above script - do I navigate to the appropriate line eg /etc/cron.daily then insert the script?
I know this sounds basic to experienced users, but it is like speaking a foreign language to me.
Thanks Rosemary
