Does anyone have a recommended method for backing up a Detain box. I have a
CD writer and have been copying the home, etc, boot, directories onto disk
at night. I have also run into errors when trying to copy everything from
the disk into an ISO image on the hard drive hence I am only backing up a
couple of directories. I imagine it is something to do with the fact that
you cannot copy file actively in use. Are there directories that are not
really required to be backed up like /tmp.


Regards;
Harry Jackson.
