External HD on CentOS 5.5

11-13-2010, 01:23 AM

I'm looking into backing up my CentOS 5.5 system using an external USB
2.0 hard drive. Anyone with experience with Toshiba Canvio USB 750 GB
unit? I'm backing up to DVDs now and would like to streamline the process.

Any advice is welcome with thanks.

I use Toshiba 250Gb and 320Gb external drives regularly - no problems -
I reformatted ext3 so I can use rsync and preserve permissions etc.
