My one-liner to make a full backup: *** tar -cvjf /data/backup/sm01/$(date '+%F').tar.bz2 /home/sm01 --exclude=.local/share/Trash --exclude=.thumbnails *** That will create a (big) file under "/data/backup/sm01/2010-11-02.tar.bz2" of the whole "/home/sm01" minus the Trash folder and Thumbnails image cache. Not an ISO image though, just a plain ".tar.bz2" Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
