Hi all (thanks to Daniela for digging me out of a fsck hole), I need a quick n safe backup strategy. One that I can get the machine backup super quick if have to. What say you about this...(and "how do I" tips please) a) Throw another drive in the box b) Createthe same or at least minimum size partitions as the active drive c) Cron job to "dump" or tar or ??? the partitions Then if the original drive hassles me I dump back to the partition or if the original drive dies, make the backup drive the active one! HELP.... How do I do this. (Disregarding the disaster recovery for the momnet if necessary) Thanks Keith http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Personals New people, new possibilities.
