I'll be backing up my system this weekend, if not tonight! On Fri, Feb 15, 2002 at 08:16:21AM -0600, Robert P.

I'd have to look at mondo's code to find out, but it sounds like a reasonable assumption. Although, there is an exclude option to exclude directories. If you just wanted to do a daily backup of let's say /etc, /var/backup and /home, you could probably get away with it by making a nice long excludes list. > Perhaps what one should do is a combination of monthly Mondo backups > for system rescue, combined with daily backups of /home to save data? > I'd still like something that would talk to my DAT changer.... I believe mondo does go to tapes now. If you're using tapes, however, I'd probably just use Amanda. Yes, there are lots of complaints about it not being able to append-to-tape, but think of it as a simplification instead of a lack of feature. *grin* I've been using Amanda to do backups of *NIX and Windows machines for quite some time. It works quite well. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Get my public key, ICQ#, etc. $(mailx -s 'get info' chewie at wookimus.net) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
