Yes, indeed. That's why I bought an RAID5 Controller and do a backup every night. I have an extra partition for var, so I just have to copy all, boot from disc, format and recopy... That's simple too, but unfortunatly I got no more power today to do this...
;-) Have a good night and nice weekend! Thank u for helping and I'll let u know. Oh one thing I'd like to know: Do u think xfs is better than reiser?
