You could use tools supplied with the distro itself, such as tar, but you might find these friendlier and easier to use (though somewhat more difficult to setup): BackupPC http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ Bacula http://www.bacula.org Mondo Rescue http://www.mondorescue.org/ Any of those would serve your needs. I recommend BackupPC or Bacula. HTH, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Systems Aligned Inc. www.systemsaligned.com
