See my recent (over the weekend) thread entitled "tar a brand new Gentoo install to a USB drive for safe keeping?" about using tar to save a brand new system. In that thread one person pointed me toward this page: http://blinkeye.ch/mediawiki/index.php/GNU/Linux_System_Backup_Script_(stage4) which I tried out. It seemed to work OK for me. I had to edit jsut a coupl eof lines to work with my setup but other than that I got a number of backups created. Not too difficult. - Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
