If you want to use dump, the fine FreeBSD manuals says: # /sbin/dump -0uan -f - /usr | \ gzip -2 | ssh -c blowfish \ targetuser@targetmachine.example.com \ dd of=/mybigfiles/dump-usr-l0.gz man ssh for setting up authentication with keys. On the mac, you must enable remote login under "Systempanel -> Sharing -> Services" if I remember correctly. -- Timm
