I'm finding it almost impossible to backup my linux box.
I have / /usr /usr/local /home partitions.
I tried tarballing them all onto a second drive but linux cold
crashed:(.
I am going to try to use this arkeia program, it seems friendly but I
can't get it to
work, and besides I'm not sure how I would reinstall linux from the
archives I would have
made, if I could just tar everything I could boot a floppy version of
linux and restore
from there...Anyway if anyone has backed up their system let me know...
