Hi Folks, When I installed Debian 4.0 I created a big, non-encrypted partition for everything except /boot using Logical Volume Management. This seems to have created problems for some backup programs: e.g. sbackup worked for a while and then just quit, mondorescue failed because it couldn't find "valid partition tables" for /dev /etc.
But I think I have a simple, elegant solution! While my internal HD has 160GB only about 12GB are used. In addition I have an 80GB external HD. I just use cp -au. It's easy to do, fast and it doesn't require my esternal HD to be running all the time. I run my external HD only when I backup in hopes that is will out live my internal HD. Any comments? Robin
