hi les/guys... assume you had/have a usb/external drive that was connected to the laptop. assume that it was also the same size (2.5") as the laptop drive... couldn't you set up a process to do a complete rsync/backup every x hours.... of everything on the drive in use. this would give a complete, always available backup that would always be right at your arms ready!!! ok.. so what would be needed to accomplish this!! thanks! -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Les Mikesell Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 2:36 PM To: Community assistance, encouragement,and advice for using Fedora.
