Much easier to use this: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ instead of writing your own and it will compress about 5 times more on the disk than you'd do by yourself too. I'm running it with a 250 gig IDE drive software RAID1 mirrored to an external firewire drive that I swap weekly. There are still some quirks in the external drive swapping, but the basic system is as good as you'll find. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
