At least backing up /etc is a lot easier than trying to backup your registry before making changes. I just finished reinstalling my lone windows machine after a windows update went bad (BSOD even when booting into safe mode with command prompt). I have a script kicking around that I used to use that takes snapshots every couple of hours. I will send it along when I find it. I now use backuppc but this is probably not the easiest to configure for new users (or experienced ones for that matter). Mitchell Brown wrote: > What do you think :( > No.. darn ..
