As I am keen to install Ubuntu 9.10 on my work laptop, its time to do an extra backup of my home directory. My mp3 player has about 30 Gb free so I'll use that.
First attempt:cp -R /home/erik /media/H300/Backup/
You wont believe how slow this is! All those little pesky files, we'll need to aggregate them.
Second attempt:tar -cjf /media/H300/Backup/erik.tar.bz2 /home/erik
Waiting ... waiting .
