Re: Disk mirroring and backups




  I use a script, cron, and tar or (more recently) cpio to mirror
important parts of disks on 2 machines at home. The machine #1 mirrors
stuff from #2 and vice versa. They are mounted over NFS. The scripts use
copy-the-delete to prevent accidents, and I use gzipped archives.

  Since I mostly work on small projects, I backup these on floppies, also
using tar and gzip.
