Re: back up and lilo

[Hans]

Hello,

"smartest" way to do backups .. assuming you want to protect your data

a) if your data is on /dev/hda ... than backup to another disk on another
  PC  -- never backup to the same disk
        - if the disk dies, you lose both main and backup stuff
        - if your system goes down, you might not be able to boot
        off /dev/hda7 if your MBR went bonkers
b) cp /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.backup.conf

 

What good would that do?

c) you can copy everyging from /dev/hda3 to /dev/hda7  but why ??
        "debian setup/files" is already backed up millions of times
        on the web
 

I want an image of my current system to restore when I mess up.

Hans
