I'm not really sure I understand your question. Anyway, I propose something like - export the backup files on the old server via NFS - boot the new one with the OS boot medium or something like FreeBSIE - mount the exported volume from the old server and extract the archives Simon ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
