Hi all,

When i first decided to run Linux ( 2.2.14-5.0) on my server 2 months ago..
i bought a machine with 2 SCSI 9 Gb hard drives.. i meant to implement a
software RAID system.. but being a newbie ... i thought i'd install Linux
first and then setup RAID once i learnt a little bit more about the OS ...:-(

I have 4 primary partitions on /dev/sda

/dev/sda1   - /boot  50 Mb
/dev/sda2   -  swap  128 Mb 
/dev/sda3   -  /     6.5 Gb
/dev/sda4   -  /home  2.5 Gb

I don't need more space on this machine in the forseeable future ... How
best can i use /dev/sdab for backing up purposes ? I already backup my
system to tape using taper .........

Best Regards

Anurag
