I usually have a seperate HD, hdb as my backup drive. i save ALL my files there.
i have symlinks to my files like this: ls ~/Desktop/ Wallpaper Scripts Work MP3 Themes Movies All those ^ folders are symlinks to the hdb1 partition. hdb1 is a fat32. becuase this is linux, its transparent. I also do the same thing in Windows too, except they are shortcuts and aren't that good. > Thanks for the prompt reply, > My gentoo partitions are reiserfs and windows is ntfs.
