Backup not working

When I click on backup data, it just saves one file:
sysdb.sql which contains sql statements.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Gary

 

Thanks for the reply, I read on the forums about a nightly backup. Where would I find those files?

Thanks,
Gary

 

You could use your own script that will tar all the files you need to resotre your system and then store them on another hdd, ftp and burn onto a dvd

 

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Do you know offhand what files need to be backed up to completely restore the system?

Thanks,
Gary

 

If you want to have a 1:1 copy of the system, take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/back_up_restore_harddrives_partitions_with_ghost4linux

This one might also be interesting, but it doesn't make a bit-wise backup: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc
