Sometime in October Russ Schneider assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| cp -Ruf /home /mnt/windows/backup/ (needs to be run as root)

if the data doesn't change much, i would consider using rsync.

| pg_dumpall > /mnt/windows/backup/file.sql (needs to be run as postgres)

what bill said about cron UID's, sudo and the -U option to pg_dumpall.

 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
