    I am installing Linux Fedora Core 2 over a an older RedHat version, 7.1. The
    application is a complex one providing a real-time video feed. While
    reasonably schooled in the application side there are any number of esoteric
    pieces I am struggling with. Specifically something as simple as backing up
    the system.

    I've tried TAR and SMB only to create ever increasing volumes. The problem I
    think is that my attempts are chasing the links instead of simply backing up
    the links. I simply want to create a backup that I can copy back, untar or
    the like, if I must re-create the system. All my software is a CVS archive,
    however much of the meddling I've done to Linux is in the libs, file
    structures, links, .conf files and the like.

    Any direction will be greatly appreciated.

    Mike
