Hi there, I have an idea and wondered if there was some vital flaw in my scheme that skilled folk like you could spot.
My linux box is completely stand-alone and apart from a bit of ftp, most of my stuff comes from Debian CDs. I wondered whether I could cut down what I backup realising that much is already on my CDs. Obviously, I would still have to backup configuration files but, generally, these are a small part of a package. If anyone can see something wrong with such an idea - or, better still, if someone is well on the way to producing such a tool - I would be pleased to hear about it. Barrie.
