Right I have just spent the last 3 evenings building a debian server (much to my fiancés disgust) it has 2 hard drives a 2gb and a 18gb all the system files are mounted on the 2 gb(sda1) /home is mounted on the 18gb(sdb2) (swap is sda1) what is the easiest way to back up the system files (2gb sda1) to a single file on the 18gb/home (so it can be backed up onto a tape drive one day) and also if I need to restore what is the best way? a bulk restore would be required to get the system back to how it is now/when I last backed it up I need to do this as I am a constant fiddler and newbie so I cock up regularly and do not know how to undo what ive done sometimes. and the next task involve a kernel re-build to enable dual processor support (smb) and im scared just thinking about it so any advice here would be nice. all I want to do is add smb can I do this without deleting anything I already have?(newbie not sure exactly what ive got but it works!)
