.:. hello! i'm wondering if anyone has a cron script or something that backs up files off a list. i've included such a list in this e-mail. it is to mirror the directory structure with a dir named after its hostname as the root directory. then perhaps tgz:ed and perhaps gpg encrypted? talk about fancy script! since i've failed finding a decent configuration file manager in freebsd i've just written down path/to/files of all my important configuration files hoping that some day that list will be used. the reason for this---i'm upgrading my network to technology release 5.0 of freebsd and hence a total redo. can anyone help me out? .:. thanks! -j
