Re: Simple backups?

Bruno,

There are times I need a backup that spans multiple DVDs, and the kernel and mindi pushed me over be an additional disk.  I think it also doesn’t like bzipping files that may arlready be compressed.  Just a one-off that would be useful to me.  I like the ability to use the tool to restore single  files, single directories, or any combined option.  It’s a great tool.
