[Dump-users] backup methodologies

[Jeffrey R. <je...@bu...>]

I'm looking for some suggestions on how to perform backups and utilizing 
the different dump levels.

I'm looking to back up my personal machine, obviously the system file 
systems do not change much ( / /var /usr) however the user filesystem 
(/home) can have a handfull of small changes daily.

What tape schedule, dump level rotation do you use, how would you 
recommend I go about figuring out what would work well for me?

This is probably a FAQ question....

TIA

Jeff
