New viewing for you and your land lady.

You might have to make a exception. Or Not. Up to you. PS. I am just a Linux using Scooter Tramp.

Your search term might be better than mine but you get the idea.

No apologies necessary, 273. But I do want to LEARN while I play. If I don't learn anything while I'm playing, I never play for long. In a way, I know that the acquisition of knowledge (any kind) is as stupid as being a miser. Reason being you can't take what you know with you when you leave any more than you can take your bags of gold. So it all comes down to what a fellow wants to do with his time. The good thing about both knowledge AND money is that if a fellow has a store of either commodity, he is in good shape to help those less fortunate than himself. Gold can buy knowledge; but knowledge is gold of a sort.

Thanks for the chat. I'll follow your suggestion about the USB drive. I took it to mean a regular external hdd AND a thumb drive. Did I get that right?

Stay in touch, please, won't you?

Don't focus too much on the media I use as I use what is convenient to me I was using myself as an example to illustrate principals.
I'm very far from expert in any of this and there are many members on this forum far more knowledgeable and experienced. I tend to over think everything though and have read a lot of threads on here regarding backup and a fair few other documents on the subject. My conclusion is that backups must be verified, must be accessible from another machine, should preferably be off-site and should be multiple. Though the nature of the data will dictate the backup schedule they should also be taken regularly.
Sorry, I am once again typing about something of which I am largely ignorant. I suppose my post ought just to read "Think about what you want to back up, why, and what you are protecting it against.".

jlinkels; maples; the rest of you -- thanks for sending those links. I will read; I will practice; I will learn.

Thanks again, folks!

Just one more question, and it's the first one I asked: Am I in the right place here, with this thread? If I have hardware/software/server/networking questions on down the road, should I come back here? Or should I kill this thread and start a new one somewhere else on these boards? If I do that, which header should I go to? Let me know, please. I don't want to twist anybody's knickers with a lot of stupid questions they won't appreciate.

My advise. Start a new thread about one specific thing.
Be detailed and tell what distro, hard ware, and what has been tried and any links to sites that you took advise from.

I do not ask many questions here but when I do. I try and follow these guidelines.

rokytnji -- thanks for all the links and the advice. I will put that stuff to use in the future. Next time I post at www.linuxquestions.org, I'll know better how to behave.

Best
