Backup

[Carlton Brooks]

Since someone mentioned yesterday about moving from one drive to 
another.... This leads me to my question of backup.

I have read half a dozen articles about backing up a linux machine. I am 
now confused even more about what should be done and HOW it should be done.

Can any members of this group offer me some help.

What I would like to do is create a backup on an external drive.

Thanks
