Go for it. We could have a session like the scripting languages one; people
describing theirs and comparing techniques.

As part of any talk I would be happy to do a short show & tell about my bash
backup script.
It uses bash to wrap MySql dump, tar mkisofs & cdrecord to write a backup cd.
As an incidental question does anyone know of some code I can use to test if
there is a blank cd in the proper drive?
Cheers
Hi,
and then there is the comment:
There are two times to test your backup:
a)before disaster
b)after disaster

Answer yourself these questions:
* How much data volume to back up?
* How often?
* What's your budget?
* What's your loss if you lose the data, expressed in dollars?
This gives you most of your own answer.

Backup strategy!
Rob
Well, I've finished my backup of it. I started at about two pm yesterday.
I had shoved it in the freezer for about twelve hours beforehand, just to make
sure. Then I got it out and froze my fingers trying to get it into the PC - I
hadn't considered that - I just did not think about it! ;)
Hi,
Robert, you are so lucky.

too many years of doing open source stuff.

I have no idea how people manage to get that much spam that they need
anti-spam software. ;) With my 6 addresses I get about one message per
day. And yes I do use most of those addresses.
Happy Hacking,

Thanks. But Helix is an attack forensic tool, and the other article is about
the same sort of forensics tools. I'm wondering about rescue liveCDs for
systems needing electronic ER.

No, it's quite sensib
If you can why not link a PC to the pc/lappie that's got the dead drive in it.
stick in the Knoppix cd (boot off it - linked to another linux box push pull
rah rah files you can get from dead disk to a good disk).

dd_rescue important difference 3): don't stop on errors...
In principle you're creating a sparse file, filling in the gaps. That's
why not truncating the output is vital.
