As usual Mandrake has a nice newbie friendly tool to do backups for you. Make sure drakxtools is installed then, Mandrake Control Centre>System>Backups It will back up your /home and /etc folders to CD, ftp, rsync, webdav or ssh automatically at regular intervals. You can configure drakbackup to do a full backup, or an incremental backup from the previous one. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
