I am looking at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux-Complete-Backup-and-Recovery-HOWTO/overview.html
but it was last updated in 2006 so I figure there might be some
useful new stuff too somewhere.
Also wondering what the lenny installation cd 'rescue mode' does -
and whether I need a boot floppy with a copy of my partition info?
Hi, Adam
I took a look at the tldp document and don't like it. I would even
characterize it as somewhat wrong headed. I understand the goal, but...

Thanks Paul for the info re rsync. Plus I was unaware that I needed to backup
/boot
Is there a new way to create a rescue disk which will allow me to rescue a hard
drive if the partitions get trashed? I was wondering if there was a similar sort
of menu-based program a bit like the "rescue mode" option on the lenny install cd?
