Then, on my server, I mounted the Mini's drive with this command: /usr/sbin/mount_smbfs //mike@mini/backup /mnt/backup Now I'm using this script to do a level 0 dump: /sbin/dump 0aufL - / | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/root-dump-l0.bz2 /sbin/dump 0aufL - /tmp | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/tmp-dump-l0.bz2 /sbin/dump 0aufL - /usr | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/usr-dump-l0.bz2 /sbin/dump 0aufL - /var | bzip2 >/mnt/backup/var-dump-l0.bz2 Once I see that this is working well, I'll probably set up folders for a weekly level 0 and dailys level 9's. Thanks to Chuck for the hint on adding the drive in the Mini's smb.conf file. ------------------------------ Mike Loiterman grantADLER Tel: 630-302-4944 Fax: 773-442-0992 Email: mike@ascendency.net PGP Key: 0xD1B9D18E
