Nice but rsync w/ scripts is working for me. I try not to have to put that much thought into doing backups. :-).

That's right. Backups are a "pain in the neck" -- right up until you need to run a restore after that hd crash, catching a virus, etc.!

Hey there lotus...

Will this app function comparably to Windows System Restore?

I just lost wireless config on one of my boxes overnight

Hi TRS-80 vet,

I do not know as I have not tried it, however, I would hazard a guess that you could restore ok. Comparing Windows and Linux is like comparing Apples and Oranges.

The question you need to be asking is "How did wireless config get lost?" Maybe all you need to do is to reconfigure your wireless.

Since it appears you are not using it - isn't the question moot, or for future considerations to be prepared to use it?
