[flexbackup-help] Using Flexbackup with a USB hard drive

[Robert W. <rob...@ro...>]

Hi,
I am getting to grips with using Flexbackup onto my USb had disk drive.  
Before i was just using the TAR command and archiving my /home directory 
onto the drive as a backup.tar.gz.  This was fine but then I decided to 
try out Flexbackup, as I have in the past used SME Server for myself and 
a number of clients I do stuff for, and I know SME uses Flexbackup.  I 
have some questions...

1, What I was trying to get my head round as does Flexbackup place its 
own version of a TAR file onto the drive? 

2, Each time I do a full backup does it create a new file/archive?

3, Why can I not mount the drive and inspect its contents?

I was going to set up commands in my crontab to run levels fives six 
days out of seven and then then a full each sunday night.

is this a good way of doing things?  Any comments from experienced users 
would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Rob.
