Please ignore (1) below, as it proves that I failed to read the first email in the installfest thread.
Still, question (2) stands, since I have files I want to back up under both systems' partitions (Debian/XP), and my googling has given me a bewildering array of possibilities that don't look terribly enticing. For example, I've browsed ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/backup/ and http://directory.fsf.org/sysadmin/backup/ --------REAL QUESTION STARTS HERE-------- I'm looking at something I can point at /d (for example) and then have it respond by prompting me for CDRs each time it has a new CDR-sized .tar.gz file to burn. When it's done, I'll have a stack of CDRs that cover everything in the /d directory tree. Anybody seen such an animal? Anybody used backuper? http://directory.fsf.org/sysadmin/backup/Backuper.html How about backup2l? http://backup2l.sourceforge.net/ Thanks all, CMP P.S. I'm taking last month's rather miserable failure of my external HD--my backup--as a sign that God wants me to back up my personal data more regularly. That, or God objects to Complete Radiohead and Led Zeppelin collections on the same HD. Either way, I'm ditching Western Digital and picking up a backup habit. Help me choose a good bottle... err... backup method.
