Hi,
for the first time I have to solve this kind of problem, that's way I would like to ask for some advice how to make correctly the installation of a "permanent" USB hard drive to use for saving data ... The HD in question should have two partitions: - the first one to be used to synchronize *immediately* (rsync) important data for backup purposes - the second one to use, always backup purposes, to make *scheduled* backups of other type of data. I think a USB HD should be suitable for this need (backup) for being able easily to remove and immediatly use, the stored data, on another computers. I think I should first create -on the USB Hard Disk (that I could to use Gparted for this purpose)- two partitions of type MSDOS and then I should format these partitions in FAT32 format: this is because 'the MSDOS type of partition and format FAT32 should ensure the possibility' of using the data both on Linux and on Windows systems. Secondly, the HD should be mounted on the computer ... permanently. Mkdir /media/resqueHD mount -t fat32 /dev/sdd1 /media/resqueHD and finally, the mounting should be made permanent by adding the line: /dev/sdd1 /media/mydata ext4 defaults 0 0 to file /etc/fstab finally rsync -av dataToCheck /media/resqueHD/directory Is this correct... and if it is also convenient to do ? Thank you Regards Angelo
