My backup requirement is as follows: Old laptop, for personal use, running Debian Etch. I intend to backup every month to DVD via my external DVD writer, and to leave copies with friends.
I want encryption. I use LUKS, but only for my home partition. My hard drive is 80 giga-bytes big. My partitions are home, root, alternate root, a data partition, and a Windows NTFS that I have not used in years :-) Current solution is to "cp --archive" the home partition into an external hard drive. I use GenISOImage and Wodim to burn my data CDs. Also, I prefer CPIO to Tar, and command-line to GUI. I am looking at Mondo <http://www.mondorescue.net/>, etc. Kindly give suggestions. -- Masatran, R.
