Backup requirement
My backup requirement is as follows:
Old laptop, for personal use, running Debian Etch. I intend to backup every
month to DVD via my external DVD writer, and to leave copies with friends.
I want encryption. I use LUKS, but only for my home partition.
My hard drive is 80 giga-bytes big. My partitions are home, root, alternate
root, a data partition, and a Windows NTFS that I have not used in years :-)
Current solution is to "cp --archive" the home partition into an external
hard drive.
I use GenISOImage and Wodim to burn my data CDs. Also, I prefer CPIO to Tar,
and command-line to GUI.
I am looking at Mondo <http://www.mondorescue.net/>, etc. Kindly give
suggestions.
