Hi all, I believe that this might be possible.. I have created a snapshot of a filesystem and moved it to a remote host: dump -L0af - / | ssh remote_host 'gzip > snapshot.gz' Now I have the file snapshot.gz on the remote host. Two questions: 1. How can I mount this snapshot and access its contents? 2. How can I use this snapshot to create another system (a clone)? Thank you for today ;) -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <wash@wananchi.com> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ Quigley's Law: Whoever has any authority over you, no matter how small, will atttempt to use it.
