Hi, Related to another post concerning the possible demise of my harddrive, I thought I'd better confirm with wiser people that my backup plan is doing what I think it's doing.
I've got a full backup of all my important data in tar.gz files on my harddrive and burned onto cds. I want to backup everything that has been modified since the last full backup, so I use: tar --newer-mtime ../mail4Mar07.tar.gz -cvzf 18Mar2007.tar.gz \ /home/tyler/bibtex/ /home/tyler/thesis/ /home/tyler/analysis/ \ /home/tyler/grassdata/ /home/tyler/Mail/ As far as I can tell from the output and tar -t this is correct, but I'd hate to find out after my drive dies that I'm mistaken... Thanks! -- Regards, Tyler Smit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
