Anyone got any ideas on how I can relatively quickly backup a raq 550
onto a seperate machine apart from using the commercial backup programs?
I've been trying cmuExport but the speed is quite awful for regular
backups.
TIA!
Sorry, I missed that you wanted to avoid CMU.
I used to do it this way (script follows) but I have found on my new BQ+Centos on a tyan 2.4ghz box CMU runs quickly - what used to take an hour now takes 8 min.
Here's my old script skipping CMU:
