For the backups, you can use "rsync". It also works through the network.

Hi folks,

Upfront "thank you" for your patience and understanding with a happy ex-windows-slave, linux-rookie-free-man...lol...

Question:

Windows versions aside, I was used to use the command prompt to select which files I wanted to backup both from my own as well as from any other user of the same machine and/or network.

In Linux, though, I haven't yet figured how to do such a selective backup as a "batch-like" manner...

I won't ask anybody to painfully type the instructions for me... I just ask that someone please post a link to "where" can I read and learn about how to do it, as I'm sure there's such a way in linux...

On a slight different note... I have been reading all the recent problems from various users... and I'm lost...

Coz I'm running xubuntu xfce on 4 different machines right now - 3 laptops, 1 custom tower with intel core i7, ATI Radeon, Asus motherboard - and I don't have ONE single glitch anywhere....

That said... after every install on each one of them, I go to a page that I saved (google "10 things to do after installing xubuntu xfce"), I do everything therein suggested/recommended, and voila... no glitches... just blissfully beautiful working machines...

Oh... yes... screen tearing... not in the 10 things to do... But a search on screen tearing in xibuntu xfce brings up a script with full explanation and voila... screen tearing's gone.

Kind regards to all

Joao Monteiro
