Here is how i back-up my FreeBSD server's: http://www.deathnet.id.au/docs/cd-rw-backup.shtml We are now doing the same backup strategy on DVD-RW. On top of this, i backup via ssh over internet to an off-site location about 15Km away. -- Cheers, Mick E-mail: admin-list@deathnet.id.au ¤°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤ DeathNet - www.deathnet.id.au ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤
