I use rsync I posted a script on PLUG a bit ago that I use in exactly the same environment as yours. In the same thread I believe there were a few alternate suggestions.

Also, I would like it to be able to make incremental backups. Dump (dd) seems to back up everything, empty or not. Not what I'm looking for. I looked at tar but am unsure about the incremental use. I've tried Clonezilla but it's giving me problems which the guys on the Clonezilla-users list are trying to work out. Can anyone suggest anything else? This is for use on a single desktop box with an external HD for backup. CLI is preferred but GUI is O.K. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
