Copying them to windows is not the first choise, neither is mounting the disk on a FreeBSD-Box. BTW: If you want to do something like this you should use NFS. I would recommend a backup method that is native to SCO. I never used it so I don't know what is available, but there should be something like "dump". This will do a backup on the filesystem level and allows incremental backups. There is at least a cpio available. So you create some files containing your backups, and you can transfer them to a remote machine... Alternatively you could check wether there is a backup solution available for SCO. HTH Christian
