try sysreport - it collects important info on your system (including config files) that you can use for future reference. it will produce a bzip file that you can copy to another storage device.

Assuming that DNS, Apache, DHCP, Samba, SMTP, POP, firewall, etc... meaning if the system was a full service machine or even across multiple machine, what do you backup? I usually save most of the configuration that is necessary for service but haven't really dealt with loosing other information since I was able to recreate most of the configuration after a crash (replacing disk), etc. What backup tools (freeware) do you use often or recommend in SOHO environment? I've used netcat and dd ing info to another box, but haven't really done too much to write to other medias since most of my boxes are network related boxes... be gentle :) -- <<gyoo [at] attbi [dot] com>> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iQCUAwUBPhxERRxoVYCzmrKXAQJK5gP3Y7CTsFyKpEz2p5W4GWI9+qSm+kWfdJ0R xNlma0Ma9rAL/OBJcZMo5IXyXas+3Edogbv4Al6dIf8lot1WS0Iaxxl/cg2f7gf+ otf7LfNpZDE/6OzR7A1qN6baPMLSjGzywwQWMfSVuWWb6kGQxMsA13Kn68G7Ozxs 5CODZqUPyg== =AolA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
