I have never managed to get to grips with the linux method of OS backups.
It goes without saying they are big files, with the need to create compressed multi CD writes. So how do you backup Linux OS's , write them to CD, and restore. The only utility I know of is dump , it's command line, which scares me stiff where backups are conscerned, all that time and effort spent configuring your OS, and it can so easily go wrong, but still there is a time for all men to learn and perhaps this is mine. One thing to consider, I am dual linux booting,and therefore have /boot /root /swap partitions. Do I create seperate backups for each, or one big backup file . Obviously one doesn't back up the /swap partiton. Hitherto I have always used a drive image programme. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
