I've never used BackupPC_zipCreate; but I'll presume it's like BackupPC_tarCreate. /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h <hostname> -n <backupnumber> -s <sharename> <path of files within that share> > <output filename> The bits you're missing are: -s <sharename> <path of files within that share> and the redirection to the file you want to be the output. Alternatively, you can pipe to another program, and send the stream across the network with netcat or the like. Here's an example: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h host.example.tld -n -1 -s / /var/samba/cadshare/cadbackup |gzip -1 |nc host.example.tld 8888 Of course on the other side you have another netcat process listening for the connection and piping the output to a tar command. (or dd, if you just wanted to capture an image of the tarfile). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
