Sorry for the late reply, but I have, untill recently, been away from my =
computer.  I don't know if this will help be cause of the crudness. =
(I'not a Linux guru)

1. I setup a Linux 8.0 server with an old p133 and a 20GB hdd .
2. Used smbmount to mount a hidden share on that server from my other =
servers.
3. Wrote a script to tarball the /etc, /home, /var/spool/mail, =
/var/lib/rpm, and /root directories. Then cp'ed the existing backup to =
another file so I at least had 2 copies of it. =20
4. Set the script in a Cron job to run 3 time a week at midnight.

It may be ulgy, but at least I have most oof the important files. :) =
BTW, if any one has suggestions about any other directires, please lest =
me know. Thanks and I hope this helps.

I remain...
