HI there... is there a way to run "tar cvfz backup.tgz *" from the root directory of a machine but have the backup.tgz file not build on that server? We really need a good backup solution and this seems to be the way. But many of the servers don't have the space needed to store a backup file that size until we ftp it off the server. I've seen uncompressing done something like this before and can't remember what was used. Once we have the various backup.tgz files from the servers, we dump all of them to a Windows box which has our autoloader and then the backup become part of our daily batch which is no problem. Thanks for any suggestions, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
