SuSE Backup Program

[Jameson]

Hi Everyone:

I am looking for a good program that will run on SuSE Linux 9.1
(hopefully a GUI) that will allow me to do backups to a Zip drive. Any
ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Lots of possibilities here;

- The YAST system backup interface is nice in that regard. You can setup
all kinds of different jobs. You can specify backup file segment sizes
to line up with your Zip drive (although you'd need to manually copy...)

- I assume you have looked through the packages in 9.1 for a better
backup utility?

I tend to set backups up using a bash script and just let it run at cron
intervals. You can then massage the script for the kind of output you
want, whether you want to burn and prompt DVD's etc.

Cheers Bob
