gnu tar does incremental backups. use -g (and -M for multiple tapes).

What different backup strategies are there on linux and what is the
best one? Is there some good website that discusses these? If someone
can point me there, it would be great.

hi ya keith
when i work on a backup system
- i assume your primary machine yu are backing up lost its disks
- i assume the backup disk can also lose its disk...
- disk failures etc is easy to simulate...
- just pull the cable off the disk... and see the panic

Are you not concerned that your disk controller will go wacky, fubarring
both drives?

I assume you mean some SCSI tape drives as that cheap. If it is so
cheap, I should think about it when 640MB became no

20Gb disks are about $100 now... and can hold 2-3 months

It's a hack. Do not expect to solve everything.
If you need incremental use -N option or something. (Read info tar)

Actually, tar (GNU tar at least) is smart enough

hi jeroen
backups...
i prefer find and tar
eg...
find /root /etc /home -mtime -$Days -type f -print |
egrep -v "$EXCLUDE_this_stuff" |
tar zcvf /Backup.Sunday/$HOST/$Year_$Mon/$Date_$Days.tgz -T -
use find to find files that has changed "today"
or last 7 days or last
You mentioned a Windoze-PC, sh I'd suggest you make a separate partition on
that one and do a "tar zcvf" to that partition. RAR for Linux might be an
option as well...
It's faster than using a CD-RW and, for once, you'll make proper use of your
windoze-machine ;-)
