back up

[Tony Lambiris]

I recently migrated from a workstation to a laptop, and I had a lot of
data on my 120 gig HD I didnt want to lose, so I bought a USB/Firewire
enclosure for it for about 30 dollars. I transferred all my documents
over to my laptop, and now I am using rsync to backup my mp3s and
important documents from my home directory. Been working out great so
far.
