Offline backup is not a solution for me, as I canot bring system to single user mode for backups. Root backups are critical for me, since our machine availability is critical. It will give an easy way to restore a broken h/d or compromise or failure in a 30 minutes- 1 hour time frame with all propoer updates. In some machines I mouting root FS on a llopback device using -loop switch and taking a tar backup of that FS. It was successful in most machine, but in some machine it fails. I will certainly look in Mondo & Mindi . Thanks, James Sebastian __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
