Thanks Arun.
If I remember correctly this will mirror <current device> to <backup device>. Is there a way I can only copy a directory from <current device> to <backup device>?

Mount the target to /mnt. Go to desired directory, one level above the directory to backup. find ./home -xdev | cpio -pdv /mnt This will back up the entire /home directory to /mnt. Ed Harrison, Registered Linux User #199533 SuSE 9.3, Kernel 2.6.11 PolarBar Mailer 1.26
