Subject: Backing up my system?
How do I backup my system using linux so I can restore it *completely* =
in a simple manner without going through reinstalling everything (my =
Windoz system takes about 4 days by the time I get all the applications =
and patches etc. back where they were)?
Well joe if I may put my two cents worth in. You sure do have a =
project to work on there, I would backup a windows installation as soon =
as it was completely set up. ie: applications and patches etc. In my own =
experience and from what I have read and I do agree with is that windows =
has a decay facture in time something will get corrputed. So it is =
inevitable to do a reinstall of course depending on hardware, software, =
and or user intrevention.=20
I have thought of backing up a system, but then I've not gotten around =
to buying the equipment to do it. Maybe one day I will venture to that =
endeavor. Backing up a system for sake of having to reinstall over a =
period of days sounds good to me, but I found it cheeper and easyer just =
to build a box for each operating system then to think of messing around =
trying to backup a multi-boot systems. So let me/us know how you did it =
and how well the backup went.
See Ya:)
