Hi, As far as I now when you take a backup (using cp -a) and store it on CD/DVD, when you restore you may lost some permission on files. e.g. su losts it set-uid bit, /tmp losts it's saved-text bit and files may lost write permission. I haven't burned the tar.bz2 file on a CD/DVD. After restoring the backup you may have to change lots of permissions. So the best solution I have found is to copy all files to another HD (of you have one extra, a small one will do) having the same file system as your CLFS (ext2, ext3, reiserfs etc). This way you can just copy the backup files and there will be no need for changing permission or so. --
