I was thinking about a tar backup too, because sure as eggs if I don't 
have a backup I'll need it !

Hehee, the temp machine will be given plenty of testing before I wipe 
the old one. Once the data's transferred I'll put the temp machine on 
live for a while (week or two) and see if anything breaks. :)
