Certainly, but you need to be 'outside the system'. You should not back up an active filesystem. If you want to take a snapshot image of / therefore, you will need to periodically shutdown the system to give a static / filesystem and then boot up a copy of linux which uses a ramdisk or another hard-disk partition as the root filesystem. From there, you can back up your normal root partition to your heart's content. Hint: start with the slackware installation boot CD. Change the initrd image to include your backup-tools of choice. Test using CD-RW's rather than CD-R's. Jack -- Once, they feared you. Then they matched you. Now they are laughing at you. Soon they will ignore you. You have lost. |

No offense but that would be a very stupid backup solution, although it might be possibe. Create a Norton Ghost bootflop, burn the image + ghost to a blank DVD-R and you're in business :-) Hope this helps. -- Martijn. |
