I use a combination of rsync for home and specific directories and refractasnapshot - http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/files/refractasnapshot/ - for complete system recovery (as well as portable live iso of my system). If you poke around the refracta directories, you might find other versions of snapshot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
