My computer slowed right down yesterday and still is slow today.

It is is as it has a virus or something.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I have 12.04 Ubuntu.

Only had it for a month or so.

the terminal command:
cp -R /home/yourname /media/usb
Will copy everything you have access to
One comment: /media will contain a folder with the volume name of the stick so it may not always be /media/usb


I just tested it on my system and it is /media/16D2-D0BB where 16D2-D0BB is the volume name of my USB stick.

One thing you need to be careful of is that many methods of copying

files over do not include the hidden ("dot") files by default, and you

may want those.
