Basic Debian firewall

Re: Backup

2000-06-21 Thread Gary Hennigan
liked it. The drawback of the Linux version, at least the last time I tried it, is that it won't back up any non-Linux partitions, e.g., Win98/WinNT. And I think you meant "afio" rather than "apio"? Just to give another point of view, I use an integrated backup solution, afbackup. I do an incremental about once a week and other than a manual full backup about 4 times a year, and a VERY rare tape change, I never have to touch my backup software. Lot's of choices for the original poster and about as many opinions. Good luck! Gary Hennigan
