I think that doing some scripting around rpm -Va (to find modified files from
rpms) and a 'comm' between "rpm -qla" and something like "find /" (with some
clean-up to get files not coming from rpms) will do the magic.

Lanny, if you are concerned about data loss, you could install a local imap
server (over wich you'll can do all the backups that you like) and keep it in
sync with google with imapsync (rpmforge repository).
Looks simple and straightforward to do:

Hope this helps.

I can confirm that: if you select the folder for offline use you'll find on the
imap.gmak.com folder an INBOX which looks like an mbox file.

Obviously there is a typo...

nice 19 dd if=/xxx of=/xxx bs=nnn

As I was told few days ago you cold nice the whole process, eg.

nice 19 if=/xxx of=/xxx bs=nnn

This should give all the other process priority over dd

Hope this helps
