That is definitely worth a look. I have been using backup-manager, also from the repositories. In fact I have been feeling rather smug, as I finally have sorted out my backup's. Having never been bitten by a failing HD, I had not formally setup a backup system. Now I make sure that stuff I am working on is in my Dropbox folder. backup-manager does nightly incremental backups on my server and workstation, and weekly full backups. All important data is on the server. Then I rsync the archives from both machines to a USB hard disk, that is located in a different building to the server. I am thinking of changing the USB drive to a much bigger one, and then coming up with a scheme that avoids massive transfers across the network each week. -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
