Backups

[qxh]

Well, I only have one drive and I figured, could I create another partition (not sure if we should call it that, but for the point of this post we will) for backups. I suppose I could have the filesystem be /dev/hda5 and mount it on /backup. May help just incase someone is hacked, and they need me to restore a backup.

Just wondering if this would be a good idea, and whether it'd work or not. Also please advice me on how I could do this.

Thanks,
Scott

Hmm..I've read somewhere I shouldn't do this, but I'm not sure..

i don't know.. you should really have a 2nd drive mounted on /backup for this

i'm thinking of getting a second drive, though i haven't got one just yet. i'll try talking to a tech at rackshack :) thanks!
