I've used rsync with great success. It really does a good job of only copying parts that have changed. It's set up to work locally (HDD to HDD on one computer) or across a network using an ssh encrypted connection. Very nice, I've used it both ways (HDD to HDD and over network) with no problems. rsync is in the ports. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
