Hi, what is a good way to backup Cygwin?
Through Cygwin, through Windows?

Won't I lose the file permissions on files with Windows backup? And turn 
groups/owners all into ????????

how about TGZip or BZIP2 everything from cygwin, is that the best way? I 
have about 1gig of Cygwin stuff now.

-Robert
