I would imagine TAR would be your friend. I do not have this knowledge to give you.

Perhaps a full system weekly (Sunday) and before any major system modification would be enough and incremental or differential for your data. um... a quick google.... http://www.biochemistry.unimelb.edu.au/pscotney/backup/Backup-HOWTO.html http://www.linux-backup.net and our very own Karsten M Self :) http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Linux/FAQs/backups.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
