Hi Denham. Please search the archives, Google, read. There are tons of good documentation on this. How you do it depends on your own personal requirements. If I might, some suggestions: UNIX System Administration Handbook (3rd Edition), ISBN# 0130206016 UNIX Backup and Recovery, ISBN# 1565926420 http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/backups.html Some of the more popular utilities are tar (which I use), dump, cpio, restore, Amanda (good for centralized backups of multiple servers), Arkeia, BRU, TapeWare, etc. I'm probably leaving many out, but these come immediately to mind. There have been numerous threads on this topic in the last few months, please investigate before posting. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
