Keep it all (except /etc of course) in appropriate subdirectories within one parent directory (say... /home/ralph?). Then copy that whole directory to some other place once in a while. (For example, to a CD.) You can't get much simpler than that. But then you'll want to start picking and choosing what gets archived and what doesn't. You could write a script to go through and pick out the things you want and then copy to a /backup directory on another partition and gzip the whole thing, if you have the disk space. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
