So on my first attempt, I realized that I need to exclude the /media
directory, or else the backup drive will attempt to back up itself. OK,
that's fine.
On the second attempt, the backup got into the /proc directory, complained
about some files disappearing, and then froze.
I don't hav

I'm interested in seeing what kind of grief you're getting from rsync.

Well, after having some difficulty getting rsync to do exactly what I want,

In thinking this over, I think that the best approach is to simply have a
daily rsync --archive from my main hard drive to the backup drive. While I
understand that more sophisticated backup systems are often useful in a
large system, the system in question is a home computer with

Paul -- thanks for the suggestions. I guess that, since I am not using a
tape drive for backup, there's no good reason to use dump rather than rsync,

I've been using dump to perform backups of my home Debian workstation (I run
squeeze, btw). I do a weekly level 0 dump and daily level 1 dumps.
For some reason the level 1 backups are almost as large as the level 0 (the
level 0 is 57.9 GB and the level 1 is 51.6 GB), even though we clearly don't
