I boot DSL from a CD. I specified a backup location of hda4. It seems to have worked. My ISP information, and some Firefox bookmarks are recovered during new boots.
However, I can't find the backup file! I have checked all my win32 partitions.
It's moslty a matter of curiosity, but some time in the future, I may wish to remove these files.
Why can't I find the DSL backup file, or how can I delete the file.
JackThe backup device is specified in the file /opt/.backup_device So use the cat command to peek at this file. then mount that specified device unless already mounted, your backup.tar.gz should be located there.
