I need some suggestions on making backups.
I can ftp files over to another machine for safe keeping, that works. However, I would like to have some kind of app that can take a snap shot of the system and back it up to a location of my choosing. I will even listen to you suggestions if there is no app, but something better than ftp.

Thanks.

rsync and dd spring to my mind. I don't know about using them with DSL, try to install it with apt-get.

I make all my system backups/restore with partimage for a long time, I find it very simple and effective.

Hello,
Go to MyDsl section and look for partimage.
It will backup all the files fram a partition and you have the option to use gzip or bzip2.

I use it all the time to create backup files, then use cdrecord, or tkdvd to butn it to cd or dvd.

I'm looking for partimage in any sections of MyDSL but can't find it.
The problem still the same with apt, you can found partimage-doc not the executable.

I've search here a solution and in other post someone suggest to copy partimage and execute them without install, so i try this way but partimage return error

<code>partimage: error while loading shared libraries: libslang.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</code>

(I'm run DSL in a 256kb usb pen and know I to wrote in a damnbadenglish. apologize in advance)

:)



suggestion?
