Hello againThe networking forum helped me solve my "I can't to connect to the ethernet problem".
Now, I want to back-up my hdb drive to my hdc drive. Hdb is 120 GB IDE, HDC is 160 SATA, I need to buy or write my own shell script to do the work.
I found an article "Easy Automated Sanp-shot Backups with Rsync" by Rob Flickenger. But it is so long I get confused.
Do I need to format the SAT drive? I rember from my Lucent SA days using volcopy. But, I guess things have changed. I have a CMS tool and drive to back-up my Windows drive. The tool did a full back-up once and has been doing incremental back-ups daily since then.
Iguess that is what I want. But being new/green, I will take your advice.:p
