Hello everybody,
Another random question for debian users on laptop.
The hard disk on my server/laptop has been working a lot for the past 3
years and I am now waking up in cold sweats during the middle of the night
because I didn't do any backup.
So here I am now, browsing for backup solutions,
Hi again,
I also want to defrag my drive. When I ran e2defrag, it said the drive
should be unmounted (ok easy, I guess I'll need a bootdisk, I want to defrag
/dev/hda0) and also I'll have to run the bootloader configuration tool
because the image may have moved.
What does the latter part mean ? I

Hi. Not to put water on your fire, but a *nix system is inherently

for two reasons.
First, files are written to a location on the disk where the file will
fit whole first, then in two pieces i

Hmmm didn't think about this. That's a great idea though. And how do I
restore the files now ? Say my HDD crashes, do I need to reinstall Debian
and then run a reverse rsync or something like this ?
Does rsync allow to backup an entire OS (including config files, special
files, links, etc...) ? I
All right then. It's true that I was first raised on DOS so a FAT HAD to be
defragmented often.
Thanks for your comments, I'll therefore forget about defragmenting my HDD.

kernel first, and if the problem persists, surf to http://acpi.sf.net for
information on how to submit a bug report.
Looking at your attached stuff, your ACPI is from January and there is no
error to be seen except for maybe
