to make a backup of my emails (kmail), How can I do that?
~ maybe, you might use RSYNC + a script, like :- ...................................... #!/bin/sh # # use rsync to backup /home/Bombadil/Mail to /dev/hdb3 # mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb3 /mnt cd rsync -avr --delete --delete-after /home/Bombadil/Mail /mnt cd umount /mnt .......................... ~ this would, for example, back up to a 2nd Hard Disk, partition 3 . . . you could instruct CRON to run the script every 30 minutes, if you like :) ................................. best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________
