I use rsync. rsync -avptgoHq --delete-excluded '/home/chris' '/etc' '/boot' '/usr/local' '/opt' /backup I run this as root. With the options "-avptgoHq --delete-excluded" given to rsync, rsync makes a backup of all the data and kepps all the file permissions intact, and also deleted data that was deleted from the sources since the last backup. I've put this in a bash script that will mount the backup drive runs rsync then unmounts the backup drive and then runs "shutdown -h now" (i turn off my computer every day). I also have the backup drive not mounted during boot, so that when the system crashes, the backup drive will not be corrupted. Chris Maaskant.
