Bruno Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Huuuuurraaaay !!!!Okay Colin . . .now I want you to pay attention to the commands we give now . . I will explain them before giving them, so you know WHY we give them and how . . . First we make a general "backup" directory on hda4: # mkdir /mnt/hda4/backup Then we make in that backup directory a few more directories you will use to store the things you want to keep safe: # mkdir /mnt/hda4/backup/documents# mkdir /mnt/hda4/backup/pictures# mkdir /mnt/hda4/backup/music# mkdir /mnt/hda4/backup/poetry# mkdir /mnt/hda4/backup/important Did you see what we did ???:"> Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 HI Colin . . . I made a typo in the first command and corrected it quickly . . . but do check first if you have the corrected version :D . . . . . you are always so quick :DYes you can copy a complete directory called "wallpapers": # cp -r  wallpapers  /mnt/hda4/backup It will then show up as a new directory called wallpapers in the backup directory !NOTE: I used the -r "argument" in this commad . . . you use that when you copy a full directory with contentsB) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Correct !!! BUT copy and paste in the GUI will not work . . because you have different UID in different distros !And you can use the same commands from whatever distro you are in at that moment !!I edited the commands to include the directory command:Here it is again . . the final version to print out ! ( In Mepis )====================================================== # mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4# cp  xxxxxx  /mnt/hda4/backup/documents# cp  yyyyyy  /mnt/hda4/backup/pictures# cp  mmmmm  /mnt/hda4/backup/music# cp  ppppp  /mnt/hda4/backup/poetry# cp  iiiii  /mnt/hda4/backup/important# cp -r  wallpapers  /mnt/hda4/backup# umount /mnt/hda4 Where you replace xxxxx with the name of the doc you want to storeWhere you replace yyyyy with the name of the picture you want to storeWhere you replace mmm with the name of the music-track you want to storeWhere you replace pppp with the name of the poetry-file you want to storeWhere you replace iiiiiiiiiii with the name of the important stuff you want to storeWher you replace wallpapers with the name of the directory you want to store======================================= Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamicota Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 OKY DOKY Bruno I have the changes in OpenOffice and will have them printed out tooBUT can I just use Konqueror ALSO and move the directories etc with the Mouse with Copy or Move HereColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 BUT can I just use Konqueror ALSO and move the directories etc with the Mouse with Copy or Move HereBecause you have different distros you want to access that backup . . .and in those different distros you have different User ID's ( UID ) . . you will get permission problems . . . so that will not work okay.So better this way . . .and when you copy back to a distro you change ownership to reflect the UID you have in that distro !!
