Well, you are going to have difficulty putting 50 GB on a 39 GB partition. (25GB + 25GB = 50GB). It won't work. You could try compressing the dump, but dump files do not tend to compress well and even if you got a 50% compression, you would still be really close to overfill. Probably you need to go to the store and get a nice big USB drive and slice and partition it in to a bunch of 50 GB partitions and pipe your dump to a restore in those partitions on that drive. You can round-robin your backups to those USB partitions. My backup to a USB hard drive just saved me the beginning of this week when the old machine died of heat prostration. ////jerry ////jerry > > -- > Konkov mailto:kes-kes@yandex.ru > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
