Could always use FtpBackup:

1) You will need to install ftpbackup on your server... follow the following instructions:
- telnet into the server as admin
- gain root access, type su - and enter your root password
- type wget http://netsw.org/net/ip/filetrans/ftp/ftpbackup/ftpbackup-2.1.tar.gz
- type tar zxvf ftpbackup-2.1.tar.gz
- type cd ftpbackup-2.1
- type make
- type make install

2) Now that we have ftpbackup installed on the server, we need to setup the script that makes the magic...
- telnet into the server as admin
- gain root access, type su - and enter your root password
- type vi /backup.pl
- type i
- edit the "FTP Server Information here" variables in the Perl script (BELOW) to match your own:
$ftps = server name is the hostname or IP address of the ftp address where the files will be stored.
$ftpu = username for the ftp server.
$ftpp = password for the ftp server.
$serv = server name is simply a way of naming the files, ex: server1
- copy the script below, and paste it into the telnet/SSH window

#!/usr/bin/perl

#FTP Server Information here
$ftps = "10.10.10.10";
$ftpu = "bob";
$ftpp = "bobspass";
$serv = "myRemoteServer";

system("/bin/tar cfp - /home | gzip | /usr/local/bin/ftpbackup -h $ftps -u $ftpu -p $ftpp -b $serv-home.tar.gz");
system("/bin/tar cfp - /etc | gzip | /usr/local/bin/ftpbackup -h $ftps -u $ftpu -p $ftpp -b $serv-etc.tar.gz");
system("/bin/tar cfp - /var | gzip | /usr/local/bin/ftpbackup -h $ftps -u $ftpu -p $ftpp -b $serv-var.tar.gz");
system("/bin/tar cfp - /usr/admserv | gzip | /usr/local/bin/ftpbackup -h $ftps -u $ftpu -p $ftpp -b $serv-admserv.tar.gz");
system("/bin/tar cfp - /usr/local | gzip | /usr/local/bin/ftpbackup -h $ftps -u $ftpu -p $ftpp -b $serv-local.tar.gz");

- type <ESC>wq
- type chmod 755 /backup.pl

3) Now we need to put the back up script in the appropriate place.
If you would like the backup script to run daily, do this:
- type mv backup.pl /etc/cron.daily/backup.pl

If you would like the backup script to run weekly, do this:
- type mv backup.pl /etc/cron.weekly/backup.pl

If you would like the backup script to run monthly, do this:
- type mv backup.pl /etc/cron.monthly/backup.pl

4) You're done! The script should now run each day, week, month depending on which one you've choosen.
How do you restore it? Can't forget the other half of the deal...
Go into the new box you want to restore the data to... Hopefully this is the same box that you backed up from.

Go to the web interface using the current password.
- Select "maintenance" and then "reboot." DO NOT CONFIRM the _javascript_ box yet.

Upload your five files to /home/sites/home/users/admin, and then follow the following instructions as root.
Please replace the variable below ($serv) with the one you used (above).

cd /home
tar xvf /home/sites/home/users/admin/$serv-home.tar.gz
cd /etc
tar xvf /home/sites/home/users/admin/$serv-etc.tar.gz
cd /var
tar xvf /home/sites/home/users/admin/$serv-var.tar.gz
cd /usr/admserv
tar xvf /home/sites/home/users/admin/$serv-admserv.tar.gz
cd /usr/local
tar xvf /home/sites/home/users/admin/$serv-local.tar.gz

Go back to the web interface Select "OK" to the _javascript_ message and you're done!
END

Cheers,

Anyone got any ideas on how I can relatively quickly backup a raq 550

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:
