Simple Linux backup

Up

This article covers the detail well and should work for Linux newbies...
This simple backup method only works for read/write drives. That is, it will backup to any drive that you can copy a file to -- a hard drive, network drive, single diskette and single Zip disk. It will not backup to a CD or DVD; you can't do a cp (copy) command to copy a file to those. Maybe I'll add that capability in Release 2 (currently scheduled for around Feb. 2019, so don't hold your breath :-). Of course, you can manually burn the resulting backup archive files to a CD or DVD.
