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

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
