<div dir="ltr">Dear List :P<br /><br />At the moment I make my backups (once every three months when I panicabout my HD dieing) simply by copying the folders I want to backup andcompressing it as a tar.bz2 file. Obviously this is not the mostorganised or efficient way of making backups. So I was wondering whatprograms do you use or suggest in order to do this tedious butnecessary task.<br /></div>

<p>I just tar everything up (using bzip2 as well but I wouldn't bother if I had the space).</p>
<p>However, to automate it and provide "dump-style" levels support, flexbackup is good.</p>
<p>I use that to create a hierarchy of backups and generally make DVDs (yes, I'd use something better if I had anything available) of the weekly ones at least using cdbackup. I have "baseline" backups that I tend to do only a few times a year - there is a huge amount of static data that I would rather not be trying to back up even monthly at present.<br /></p>
