Hi all

Well, I can backup up my system using find and cpio now, thanks to 
some help from the mailing list archives, but I must say I don't like 
it too much.

Anyone got any nice front ends to these commands?

Failing that, how do I tell find to list all the files on my hard 
disk except a certain directory tree?

Regards,

Irvine Short
