Hi David
It's a pity UNR is only available as an image. The image writer just
dd's the data to the USB. The USB startup disk creator is more clever
because when it copies an iso you can also have a persistent storage
area on the stick.

Following on from an earlier thread, I now am about to (this weekend,
anyway) set up a backup policy for my machine using rdiff-backup.
So what files & dirs do people backup on an Ubuntu machine?
I guess everything in my home directory -- should I try for anything else?
Cheers,
Doug.

I love it!
I'm going to have to rethink my original idea, due to the incremental vs
BackupExec files thing, but for a personal backup strategy, rdiff-backup
seems to be the ticket.
Nice & simple, like me!

It does reverse incremental backup
Just to clarify with people, if you hadn't signed up on Facebook,
Yahoo or with me by 9am this morning then security will not let you
into the party.
Also, due to the numbers of people expected, BBC security have asked
people to try to arrive by 7pm sharp, otherwise it may be difficult to
get in.

When you say 'a drive', is that on a windows box, or a linux box or a NAS?

There is a command line tool for windows i think called "robocopy" (im
not in the office to check). On my network I use a scheduled task of
robocopy to backup windows machines to a local samba share, and then

I am trying to download Ubuntu Netbook Remix, after having recently
bought an Asus Eee PC 901. I like Xandros (KDE mode), but its system
space is so limited that I cannot do much with it.
The UNR looks better in its design in easy mode than Xandros, but not
much good if I cannot even download i
Of course, one thing I've forgotten is that the local backup that I wish to
sync is performed by BackupExec (something I doubt I could change), and so
maybe an incremental sync wouldn't be all that advantageous.
Unless BackupExec stores its backups in a manner that lends itself to weekly
syncing, w

Rsync will do that. However Rsync is not native to MS-Windows, neither
is SSH/SCP which Rsync can operate over. You ma
Currently the backup I'll be syncing comes in at ~140gib, so it shouldn't be
too hard to ensure that we have at least twice that on the sync drive.

Thanks very much for your advice, there -- good to know I'm on the right
