The first thing I'd have tried would be tar (and probably netcat) but I'm a probably bit of a dinosaur. (If someone wants to buy me some really big drives I promise I'll update). If it's really NFS or nothing I guess you couldn't open a socket anyway. I'd be interested to know whether tar is still worth using in this world of volume managers and SMP.
