I already have an adequate set-up of back-ups, incl off-site copies, which ensures my personal files + configs cb restored, but it involves some human intervention from me at various times & I would have to re-install all the system + Portage stuff. What do people who do incremental back-ups use ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
