Hi, well I have a 120GB drive, splitt into 56GB system, 47GB home, 2GB swap, 15MB /boot and a 'ply around partition' REST.
The /-partition will fit fine on a single 35GB DLT, compression on or of does not matter, because / is never really full enough for needing more.. That is why, I just use tar and backup the whole mess on one tape and put it onto the shelves ;) This takes some time, but in cases of a restore, I need a maximum of two tapes (home and /), instead of searching for the inc-backup tapes that have to be somewhere ... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
