I'd recommend dar - like tar but designed from scratch to back up to disk (CD or DVD) rather than tape. It allows directories to be easily excluded (eg. /proc and /sys) and there are GUIs available such as kdar for KDE. The archives created can be compressed with gzip or bzip2 to save space (but it takes a LOT longer to so the backup then). It, like tar, maintains soft/hard links, ownership and permissions. I usually use the command line for backup but if I only want to restore a couple of files then kdar allows me to pull whatever files I like from the archive without all the rest. -- Robin Gilks - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hams" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
