I would use rsync over ssh and copy / home Something like this should work Rsync -avpe ssh /home user@ipnotebook:/home/user/backup Or just rsync to a USB disk Rsync -avp /home /media/backup disk Andy On Aug 11, 2012 3:59 PM, "Andrew Greig" <pushin.linux@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi, I had some trouble with my Notebook and desktop computers last week when Entangle stuffed the display files on both computers. I successfully rebuilt the Notebook because I had a separate /home partition. Unfortunately the desktop PC (Suse 12.1 64 bit) was a single partition, and it will not be quite so easy. How do I get the files I want from the desktop onto a dive attached to my notebook? Ctrl+Alt+F2 gives me a console in the desktop. The Notebook is running Gnome. Once I have my data tucked away, I get adventurous.
Many thanks
Andrew Greig
