Hi all,
I am looking for a backup program that can back up to my DVD+-R/RW drive
to back up my private portage tree/distfile/music/web server. What

What does the outpute of "date" show for your current date? this looks
like your clock/cmos battery is dead. I had one keep me from emerging

Another tool which will work well is dd.
as an example to back up my laptop before experimenting with new
distros, I do dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/backup/jalopy.img bs=2M to back
up the drive for a bare metal restore of the 40 GB hard drive.

If you want to ensure that portage removes a configuration file then add
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc" to the unmerge line and portage will remove the
