Because of a number of problems in backup, I have written a couple of Cygwin-specific bash scripts that I use to backup my system. Is there a forum for sharing these kinds of things? (Of course, they use 'bzip' and 'tar'.) BTW, I am not convinced that these scripts will save the "free world" from the heartbreak of psoriasis. Rather, I think that my script and others like it will benefit from sharing of ideas and "peer review". However, they are undeserving of full-fledged open source/Freshmeat/SourceForge/... treatment.
One of the interesting motives of these scripts, BTW, is preserving the full names and paths of the original files and directories on NTFS, when they are copied to other media such as CD-R/RW, Firewire and FAT ... devices.
