On my 2 Windows XP machines I use Ghost 9. Is there similar thing to copy a Linux drive? Or can I simply do something like an XCOPY from one drive to a second one as a backup? I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) on a home Workgroup as a File and print server - If I ever get Samba set up correctly. Any suggestions appriciated.
