Alessandro,

There are several commercial packages available, e.g. Backup Edge, Lone
Tar, etc, you will need a backup device, i.e. Tape backup, CDRW, etc,
There are some others which you can use to make exact copy of your
primary hard drive, but that will require you to add a second drive,
since you mention you are new to SCO OS and don't want to make mistake
and do not have a backup, I would not suggest you to make any changes
to the system, e.g. adding disk, I would highly recommend you to seek
some professional help.

Good luck,

Abid
