I use backup manager which is super easy to configure. I just install the package and it prompts me for where I want to save the backups to, in my case that's /media/drobo/backups which is my drobo shared out over samba. I then edit /etc/backup-manager.conf and make one change:- export BM_ARCHIVE_METHOD="tarball-incremental" instead of "tarball" so that I get a full backup (of /etc and /home) every weekend and then incremental ones on the other days of the week. Works for me. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
