This is not a tecgnical question, in that I am able to do backups and it works great. I have tried some while ago the backup that comes with YaST and found it to be confusing, to put it in nice wording. :-) I also looked at what SUSE has to offer concerning ready scripts and saw that nothing that I liked, an easy to edit script. I now use backup2l, wich is exactly what I want. The reason is that I do not want a GUI tool for backups. So what are you using that is on SUSE itself? Or do you run your own script? Have I overlooked some great script that is available? houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
