A pipe dream?

[G.B.Stott@bolton.ac.uk]

Hi there,

I have an idea and wondered if there was some vital flaw in my scheme that
skilled folk like you could spot.

My linux box is completely stand-alone and apart from a bit of ftp, most of
my stuff comes from Debian CDs. I wondered whether I could cut down what I
backup realising that much is already on my CDs. Obviously, I would still
have to backup configuration files but, generally, these are a small part of
a package.

If anyone can see something wrong with such an idea - or, better still, if
someone is well on the way to producing such a tool - I would be pleased to
hear about it.

Barrie.
