Thanks All
I stepped off into the deep end tonight...
After 3 or 4 months of experimenting with various Linux distributions, I decided to move from Windows to (SuSE) Linux as my primary operating system.
After making significant changes to my home network, partitions and excel spreadsheets, the one thing that was outstanding was devising a backup procedure to replace my existing windows bat file procedures.
Whilst I can't abandon Windows completely (I own an iPod and an unsupported film scanner and printer) it will be an interesting experiment.
I'll use your recommendations as the basis for my new backup script.

Maybe if you described what you do for a backup procedure, we could help. My first thought was to just use a cron job (scheduled) job to run 'rsync' to synchronize a backup area.... but would need to know what you actually do for backups. It is probably easier to implement than you can imagine... :-) -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
