I tried Simple Backup but could not be sure if it was doing the<br>> business. There is no indications that Simple Back up has done the job and<br>> when I try to view the archive folder it created (after 3 hours) I just<br>> get the egg timer and nothing else. It appears that Simple Backup does the<br>> job in a matter of minutes, is that usual? I know it depends on th
amount<br>> of data, but we are talking about 4.5G of data, photos, videos etc<br>><br>> Any suggestions on a simple and speedy backing up process?<br>><br>> Cheers<br>><br>> Mo<br>><br>><br>><br> > Now I admit I haven't tried this yet myself, but there is a nice looking<br>>script at <a href="http://andri.dk/tech/linux/usb-backup" target="_blank">http://andri.dk/tech/linux/usb-backup</a> which should help - or<br>>at least point you in a direction that you can work on from... ;-)<br><br>I will give a try, many thanks. I put Simple Backup on and went out this afternoon, so I am going to try and transfer data onto the new Ubuntu 9.04 install :-)<br><br>Many thanks<br><br>Mo<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Wolves LUG mailing list<br>Homepage: <a href="http://www.wolveslug.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.wolveslug.org.uk/</a><br>Mailing list: <a
