Hello! Happy holidays!!! 2 questions about backups: 1) With the default setup of the 3 partitions of FreeBSD (/usr , /var , the rest) is it a good idea to backup only data files (on a web server). I am used to make a full backup every time on a tape a work. But at home, I can't afford a tape backup a doing a full bk means more than a 1.2 Gig ! It seems to me that data is every where and I risk to loose data... 2) this leads to my second question: What are my options for a good and AFFORDABLE backup that would be used with FreeBSD AND Win95 since my HD is split with 2 OS. Does Imation LS120 compatible with FBSD? It seems like the only solution is to have a second HD with 2 partitions (DOS and BSD) and a sliding tray to remove the device. That way, with a 5Gig HD, I would be able to backup FreeBSD in Full mode. Do you have suggestions on this matter? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marc Andre Paquin, Dir.
