I can't imagine Dell telling you that you can't install a perl script.
There is a distinction between what They say I can do,
and what They don't say I can't do.
I use/like backuppc but the advantages are mostly for backing up
several
systems. If you only have one or two machines to back up they are both
good.
Thanks.
I've 5 or 6 machines to backup, so I guess I'll go for BackupPC.
I didn't find a Fedora tutorial/howto/FAQ for this program.
Does Fedora have any official recommendation for backup?
