Now, that I can afford! :) I have been a member of one or more tech support lists since the early to mid 90's and understand what it's like to see the same question posted week after week. But at the same time, it is most helpful to me sometimes to have a good two-way conversation to help hash out the strengths and weaknesses of what I am trying to accomplish. I always seem to have a not-so normal way of doing things for whatever reason. Maybe what I need is a mentor type conversation. Thanks, I'll look it up and book mark the URL. I'll be back with the questions later. Buck -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Reuben D.

Also please look at the archives. There are a *lot* of discussion about all kind of backups here not so long ago. As a rule of thumb, something that looks fairly general (eg. backup) must have been discussed before and the archive is a good starting point to look. If then you have a more specific question for that topic, and/or specific topic that's not in the archive, then ask here. In case you don't know, this site has archive of many lists, including this list (redhat-list): http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ -- Reuben D.
