In my FC4 things I found the file rsync that I used to back up my whole
computer things. I have a 8.7 Gbyte hard drive in a $20 dollar plastic
holder which has a power supply and a USB plug that my current F7 will
put at /media/disk/. I worried it was too small. So I used the old # du
-c -h /file and I learned that I have:
/home 3.8 Gig
/root .051
/usr 3.4
/etc .114
/var .107
/lib .073
/bin .058
/sbin .020
This is 7.3 Gbyte which will fit on the hard drive.
Now I have to try it and see how it works.
