My desktop machine is now 2 yrs old & has an SSD for immediate stuff ; it also has an HHD with 500 GB available. Files I'm working on are backed daily to HHD & to USB stick ; once/week I use a script in Krusader to copy everything in ~ or /etc which has changed during that week onto HHD & USB & also to an off-site system I have I/net access to ; I also run a simple Bash script to rsync system files to an HHD copy. Every 9 mth I do a full back-up of everything in ~ or /etc , of which I keep at least 1 copy off-site & another on CD (in future DVD) for when the Earth's poles change & everything magnetic is wiped out (grin). 2 belts + 3 braces : HTH. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
