There are many different approaches to backup (search the archive over the last couple of weeks for a recent list discussion). I use rsync which for a simple one off backup can be used: >From machine A: rsync -av B:/home/myself /target_directory_on_A If you want to automate backups it is rather more complex: References: http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/documentation.html http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ http://finmath.uchicago.edu/~wilder/Security/rsync/ I've written a mini howto which I intend to put up at some point but I'm happy to mail it to you off list if you want it.
