What is a good way to backup the entire linux system?
I've googled backing up and tried various variations of the following, all
with no success:
Suse 10.3's Yast backup
cp -a
rsync -a
tar -cfz
I got an external 500GB drive, and set up three partitions: one for mac, fat
for win, ext3 for linux.
I've tried so many things that I can't present a concise problem, though the
most common one seems to be running out of disk space. ('umount'ing all
partitions except the source & destination solved one problem.)
Very time consuming "experiments", i.e. hours per trial.
I was wondering how Slug'ers are doing system backups (and of course the next
step is recovery, but that comes later).
