Two programs come to mind. Mondo Rescue - This makes a set of bootable CD/DVDs which can rebuild a new hard disk from scratch including the partitioning, automatically. http://mondo.30below.com/index.html Kdar - You can safely backup (with compression if you like), view and restore files using KDar, along with a few easy UNIX commands for mounting and burning CD-R's, Zip and Jazz drives, DVD-R's, floppies, or any other disk-based storage media. KDar allows you to split the backup into slices whose size match the capacity of your storage media. http://kdar.sourceforge.net/ -- Regards, Graham Smith --------------------------------------------------------- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
