- Howdy all, since installing Mint, I've been wondering how to back up
- the partition. Simon Gornall's readme from his distribution says that
- if you access the Mint partition from GEM, you'll corrupt it. Does
- this mean that if I use a GEM backup program, I'll trash the Mint
- partition? Should I tar it or use a .ttp backup program instead?
-
- thanks for any enlightenment,
-
