I want to thank all who gave advice on backing up using the
terminal commands. My main use of terminal has been for the very
basic stuff such as "sudo apt-get install" etc. I have been a
Linux (mainly Kubuntu) user for many years. I have used GUI
programs to backup and for most of my operations. I work in a
Microsoft environment so that was the natural way for me.<br>
Because I wanted to separate my data from my home all the advice
given here was to use the command line method. I am grateful for
the help and advice and am now enjoying the learning and the use
of rsync. A new world of dealing with Linux is opening up and it
isn't as difficult as I thought although I'm not sure I'll
remember all the commands without a manual<span

Thanks again to all.<br>

May I recommend to you, "Linux in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly. I have
the 6th edition, which may be the latest, and it's my Bible. Last I
heard it was selling at half<br>
price, i.e., around $25. From Amazon, of course. Not all commands,
but certainly most, and with explanations and some examples. Well
worth the price. And I<br>
have no financial interest in the book or Amazon. Just buy it.
You'll thank me!<br>
