I would like to backup my server to a firewire drive connected to a Macintosh Mini. Both machines are on my local network and, of course, behind a secure firewall. Right now I'm using this script to take backups: #!/bin/sh /sbin/dump -0uanL -f - / | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish mike@192.168.1.11 dd of=/Volumes/Server-Backup/dump-root.gz && \ /sbin/dump -0uanL -f - /tmp | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish mike@192.168.1.11 dd of=/Volumes/Server-Backup/dump-tmp.gz && \ /sbin/dump -0uanL -f - /usr | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish mike@192.168.1.11 dd of=/Volumes/Server-Backup/dump-usr.gz && \ /sbin/dump -0uanL -f - /var | gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish mike@192.168.1.11 dd of=/Volumes/Server-Backup/dump-var.gz This is working fine, but I have to run the script mannually and enter the password. So my question are these: 1. Is there any other way of doing this so that I would not have to deal with the password issue from ssh? This is all taking place behind a secure firewall on my local network, so ssh is probably not necessary. 2. How can I use samba to mount the Mini's drive? mount_smbfs would only see the home share belonging to the user I was logging in with and not the /Volume directory on the Mac. Sym-links from the users /home to /Volumes didn't work correctly. How can I access the drives in /Volumes via samba? ------------------------------ Mike Loiterman grantADLER Tel: 630-302-4944 Fax: 773-442-0992 Email: mike@ascendency.net PGP Key: 0xD1B9D18E
