I have started to read on the suggestions made
on the first answer to my question. I do have
another question: is it possible to do disk
spanning (read CD's) in linux during a backup?
I hope so because I am sick and tired of floppies
and could not go too far for a full backup of
my system. I am hoping that the same thing one
can do with a program, like winzip in Windows,
one can do with cdrecord or other in Linux,
using a CD/RW. Thanks again for your
feedback.
