General rule at our company is to back up the following: /etc (so you don't have to recreate those custom configs you worked weeks on - just don't blindly restore them in the event of a disaster) /home (user data) /root (root's user data - we keep some cron scripts there) and any application data stored locally. Yours may vary, but you'd be pretty safe w/ the above. - -Rick - -- Rick Johnson, RHCE - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (from home) Linux/WAN Administrator - Medata, Inc.
