With a little work, yes. The only way to backup UFS filesystems with ACLs etc is dump. Make sure that you have a filesystem with >4GB free space. Add a directory on this fs, and set the nodump flag. Have a look at the 'dodumps' script on my FreeBSD page; http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/index.html#backups If you use dump like I do in dodumps, it splits the output in DVD-sized chunks. After every chunk, it waits for you to type 'yes' to proceed. So what you can do is burn the first dumpfile to a DVD (don't bother wrapping a cd9660 fs around it), delete it, and then continue with the dump. Alternatively, you could buy an external USB harddisk which will have room to spare and save you dumps on that. :-) Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHh6GeEnfvsMMhpyURAh1uAJ45LkdlTt4YF84M9nrKhsRHLXgoCACfXBdb +ns6XxRpGEJ3oeCd2gDAFSo= =afi2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
