I've recently read several great articles on 4 Journaling File Systems, XFS, JFS, Ext3fs, and ReiserFS in the Linux Gazette. http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue55/florido.html http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue68/dellomodarme.html Reliability I like. So I want to backup the disks as well. Seems hard to find a tool to do more than one individual file system. Until ... Linux Magazine has a short blurb on NovaStor Corp's Instant Recovery Software. Claims can back up ALL INTEL compatible file systems. Price is right at $36. Anyone have experiences with these guys or any alternative solutions? http://www.no-panic.com/recovery/irecover.html Thanks, Don Dunn
