But on general principles when backing up data from Linux (or *bsd/
*solaris/etc) you should tar the directory/directories first. This will
maintain file permissions and ownership.
For example....
$ tar -cjf thunderbird.tar.bz2 .thunderbird/
Then burn thunderbird.tar.bz2 to your DVD.
See "man tar" for more info.
Or use "cp -p ..." (preserve attributes).
poc
Boy I do wished I could remember all the shell commands, It's amazing
how powerful the shell really is in Linux.
