-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 This assumes you backup your stuff at all:). What do you folks out there use for backing up your systems under linux? I've been using tar lately but I notice that for very large archives, tar is EXTREMELY slow! It's taking me over an hour to extract a single file from a 20GB archive. There's got to be a faster and better way to do this. I didn't think it took terribly long to back the stuff up but extraction takes forever. Is cpio better for this perhaps? I thought about zip but I understood there were problems using zip/unzip for backups; besides, I think there's a 4GB limit on zips; I could be wrong there. I've heard about amanda but that might be overkill for my residential setup with 3 computers. Any ideas welcom. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJCJ/JWSjv55S0LfERA2gCAJ0a8pWiS5HwkYmK92DBTyHFx+WxJwCfTStw QpJBIfhiNb/X4oAkOyWtBXs= =a6e3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
