Josh and Steve, I appreciate the suggestions. I will look into the Amanda
interface. I basically want to back up the RH 7.2 root and home partitions
(approx 4 GB) on a separate area of the hard drive (I have only one 40GB
drive) most of which is devoted to Linux but shares space with Win98se.
What file directories or partitions should I back up? i.e. /usr, /home,
everything?
Andy W.
