The only drawback is that it does not work. Try searching for the postings about backups on the openSUSE list. I am specificaly looking the message about storeBackup and the explanation and examples somebody gave. http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&q=site%3Alists.opensuse.org+storeBackup&btnG=Search or http://tinyurl.com/obdeg does not give anything. Just to prove that it is there: http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse/2006-Apr/0153.html http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse/2006-Apr/0347.html and the one I was looking for: http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse/2006-Apr/0346.html There are other postings containg the word as well. The only way to get there was to know it was there in the first place. I am sure many other articles won't be found at all, because nobody knows they are there. As long as there is no own searchengine, you have to rely on the goodwill of others and just one search I did showed it did not work. houghi -- This openSUSE mailinglist is about the community.
