In my FC4 things I found the file rsync that I used to back up my wholecomputer things. I have a 8.7 Gbyte hard drive in a $20 dollar plasticholder which has a power supply and a USB plug that my current F7 willput at /media/disk/. I worried it was too small. So I used the old # du-c -h /file and I learned that I have:


/home	3.8 Gig
/root	.051
/usr	3.4
/etc	.114
/var	.107
/lib 	.073
/bin	.058
/sbin	.020

This is 7.3 Gbyte which will fit on the hard drive.

Now I have to try it and see how it works.
