rsync of the backuppc pool will work up to a certain point. eventually you run into a memory limit, and it simply won't work (crushes the box by using all the memory and swap). it's also terribly slow. dd is far, far faster in my experience; and scales nicely to pools of any size. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
