As for dump, i've used it locally as well as remotely to back up entire partitions and as long as the target partition, which you need to format before hand, is big enough for the actual data, i've never had problems. For me this usually looks like this: [root@quack ~]#mount /dev/adwhatever /mountpoint [root@quack ~]#cd /mountpoint [root@quack /mountpoint]#dump 0f - / | restore -rf - hope it helps :) mario;> - - - - - - - - House Of Sites - - - - - - - - Web Design :: Programming :: Hosting :: Maintenance Web site: http://www.HouseOfSites.net Email: mario@HouseOfSites.net Tel: 415-242-3376 ---------------------------------------------------- Do you schmut!? http://www.schmut.com
