If you want to backup to disk and you can use SMB/CIFS or rsync, then I'd check out backupPc. Don't let the title fool you, it works incredibly well for servers and gives you a really nice web-gui to restore from. BackupPC also allows you to restore back to the original machine, to another machine on the network, to another path on the original machine or download as a file or zip/tgz. In short, it rocks. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ M. -- Matthew Macdonald-Wallace matthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.truthisfreedom.org.uk/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
