Info on how to back up my new debian sarge stable system
Hi all,
So, I've finally got a working debian stable sarge system up and running. This was my first time using linux, so far I am quite impressed, for some reason I was under the impression that linux would be MUCH different than I am used to. Anyway, now that I have everything setup what I want to know is can I create a backup so that when I start playing with the system (upgrading the kernel, etc) and I inevitably break things because I don't know what I'm doing yet, I can fall back to my current setup with out reinstalling from the debian Cd's. What I'm finding is the hardest thing is that things which I figured out how to do in windows years ago I don't know how to do in debian, for example it took me forever to set a static IP for port forwarding and to configure the samba to see the shared files on my winxp machine. It is fun though, doing a lot of learning. If you guys can help me out with this backup thing I'm sure it will save me tons of time.
Thanks!
Matt
