For most stuff, I use tar -czf or something along those lines (e.g. to move directories or backup important information on servers). If you have a 120GB hard drive you need to make an exact copy of, I usually pull it from the machine (if it's not in production) and use a diskology IDE cloner to make an exact backup. Another method is to stick a 300GB or 400GB drive into a USB enclosure and then just plug that in and copy data that you need. You can also use tape drives, although I've never been a big fan of them myself. Not with hard drives so cheap. Yet another option is to use a DVD burner and back up 4 or 8GB's a time to something you can store off site. Anyway, hope that helps a bit :) Ray
