I just use an attached USB drive to house my files. For another physically attached disk, you can use the partition instead of a loopback file. Here's my alias to backup my home directory: alias epback='cd ${HOME}; rsync -av --delete --inplace . /mnt/backup/ep/; cd ${OLDPWD}'Or sfs, in which case even the traffic to the server is encrypted! True. Although when using this solution in the corporate (M$) environment usually proves futile. Usually you are at the mercy of Bill Gates and have to get around it. For the people who need to access a fileserver I have at work from their windows laptops, I have them mount the samba shares over an ssh pipe. This gives them the network privacy that they want without having to do too many extra steps. Haven't played with SFS, but I intend to. Thanks for the great reference. ep -- Brian Epstein <ep@epiary.org> Key fingerprint = F9C8 A715 933E 6A64 C220 482B 02CF B6C8 DB7F 41B4 ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
