My disk was broken as well two weeks ago. I have an external disk with an ext3 fs on it. So I rsync -vaP'ed my root and home partition to two dirs on the disk and back, works like a charm and efficient. Got 100% recovery with a broken HDD fortunately. :) Paul -- Student @ Eindhoven | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Technology, The Netherlands | JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> Using the Power of Debian GNU/Linux <<< | GnuPG key ID: 0x50064181 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
