BackupPC doesn't seem like a good fit for backing up a single machine. It can certainly do the job, but it excels at backing up multiple systems centrally, not filling the role of a desktop backup to external storage. To answer your question, the simplest solution for single PC backup as you describe would probably be something like sbackup -- http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbackup/ -- which is naturally quite a different goal than BackupPC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
