I downloaded the eval version ... but it made me hunt up a WIN98 machine with a CD burner, so I could run the ".exe" download ... just to burn the ISO for me! All that, so that I could try out a linux based program to back up a linux only machine (not a dual boot system). Seems like the long "run-around-end" to get to the goal.
After all that, it wanted to make a compressed copy of my hda1 partition on hda6. Which copy, I would then have to burn to CD, manually. This is getting a little silly. Thanks for all the help and suggestions ... but I don't have time to play like this. I'm opting for the old machine with big HD to do a network backup of all the other disks. I guess the question will then be, how long do I have to sleep at night so the backups can complete.
