Should I share the (remote) directory through NFS or an alternate way. And most important: what program do I use. The remote is an ext3 linux drive. Can anyone point me in the right (syntax) direction? Should I use tar? Or what? In future I want to be able to do a full restore to a new (and much larger) harddrive ;-)) -- dick -- http://www.nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.7 ++ Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
