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.
Well steve... You are probably going to love, shells, Perl, Tk, Python,etc But... If it's a backup you want... have you looked into storebackup? Comes on SuSE cd's and is the ultimate backup program (assuming you backup to disk) Jerry
