Better? :-) you all can marvel at my lack luster scripting abilities, but
hey it works and it's dynamic.  I run this on 5 Linux system weekly which
throw their files up on to one system which has a tape drive then tar that
system to the tape.  I originally started out using bzip but some are so
slow that it was taking too long, all but one have some level of RAID to
protect from physical drive failure, simple software mirrors to hardware
RAID 5. on the system without RAID I have a zip disk which does daily
backups of the only real critical files it has.  Plus there is usually
redundant copies of files else were, spread over Novell, windows and Linux
systems.  This help protect against, viruses, hacks and anything else.
