I got the sense that he wanted to back them up.
Yes, I do.
I get around that problem by using snapshots. But I'm on Solaris 9, where I have fssnap and a wrapper so that when Amanda calls ufsdump it ends up doing a snapshot and backing up the snapshot.
That'll do it. AFAIK, the snapshots concept doesn't exist on Linux. But since I'm running amdump from a shell script already, I can do it myself: ssh over and cp -r the directory, then back up the clone (I'm assuming cp isn't as picky as tar).
Thanks for the replies, both of you. -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED]
