I have a 20 GB home directory that I'd like to back up to my external
USB drive, and then do incremental backups once a week or so
there-after. What is the suggested best way to do this? Besides the
normal files there are also 8 2GB VMWare virtual disk files in the
mix. I tried to create a tarball out of it, it errored out on the
size.

Thanks


ED
