Hi all, When i first decided to run Linux ( 2.2.14-5.0) on my server 2 months ago.. i bought a machine with 2 SCSI 9 Gb hard drives.. i meant to implement a software RAID system.. but being a newbie ... i thought i'd install Linux first and then setup RAID once i learnt a little bit more about the OS ...:-( I have 4 primary partitions on /dev/sda /dev/sda1 - /boot 50 Mb /dev/sda2 - swap 128 Mb /dev/sda3 - / 6.5 Gb /dev/sda4 - /home 2.5 Gb I don't need more space on this machine in the forseeable future ... How best can i use /dev/sdab for backing up purposes ? I already backup my system to tape using taper .........
