Since a CDRW will only hold, tops, 700 MB, its likely you can't back up the whole box onto one. But poke around your filesystem, it may be that /home is < 700MB, /usr is < 700MB and / is < 700MB. (Or 650MB if you have 650MB disks) (And, leave some empty space to be on the safe side) If you have a decent box, try something like this (check the syntax and options for your box) mkisofs -J -R /home | cdrecord -v -D 0,4,0 -speed 6 - man cdrecord will help in this ;-) Then basically it will burn a mountable, in-Windows-readable CD of your /home. Then do for / and for /usr (or whatever) You'll end up with a few CDs, all you have to do to restore is use cp for small files, or just cpio or cp, or heck, MOUNT the thing, and you're back up. Just an idea. YMMV, I use a tape. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
