What is the best way to do a full backup to another hard drive? I would prefer that the backup be one file that can be updated with changed/new files. It seems that dump is primarily for tape drives. If you use tar/gtar can you update this file and also can you specify that it starts at "/" and tar's all directory and files? I want to do this with the programs that come with suse 6.3 and not have to purchase a separate program. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
