Ashwin: Thank you for you reply, does ghost work well with RH? I was under the impression that there were some problems, but that might be with ext3 only. This might take care of my imediate need.

If you dont have the money and are familiar with Linux then all you need to backup is all the custom config files and the home/web/user directories.. Tar em up, zip em up, ftp em to another box.. Re-install linux on the box if it ever croaks, and then unzip, untar and replace the dirs.. You could however use Ghost from Symantec or some other such utility to completely image your system and keep the image somewhere safe or on any other machine or even a CD.. Boot the machine when it croaks and pick the image from the CD, network or the other computer (via the network or by a physical data link between the linux system and the other one..)..
