I'm looking into backing up my CentOS 5.5 system using an external USB 2.0 hard drive. Anyone with experience with Toshiba Canvio USB 750 GB unit? I'm backing up to DVDs now and would like to streamline the process. Any advice is welcome with thanks. Dick -- Yes indeed...the Hokey Pokey *is* what its all about!
