Last year after our computer crashed I had no way of retrieving the backup for windows, with the help of a great guy Gary, luckely we were able to retrieve a lot of files. Now I am getting restless because I still don't really know how to back up windows and open suse and files, either directly or auto.
A backup is just a copy. There are many ways to copy a file, sometimes dependent on the target media (disk,tape,cd,flash etc).
Next question is, can I backup all stuff on dvd's. John
Yes, you can. John, I think perhaps you need to consider what you want to backup, when you want to back it up and to where you want to back it up to. Then come back and tell us "I want to back up /etc /home and /root", "I want to do it every day at 0400 in the morning" and "I want to do it to DVDs". I'm sure you'll get some more comprehensive answers with those details. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (28.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
