Thanks again guys. My final series of steps to take full backups: bsdlabel ad4s1 | ssh -p 22222 nlan...@localhost dd of=/home/nlandys/backup/bsdlabel_ad4s1 dmesg -a | ssh -p 22222 nlan...@localhost dd of=/home/nlandys/backup/dmesg dd if=/dev/ad4 bs=512 count=1 | ssh -p 22222 nlan...@localhost dd of=/home/nlandys/backup/MBR cat /etc/fstab | ssh -p 22222 nlan...@localhost dd of=/home/nlandys/backup/fstab dump -0Lan -f - / | gzip | ssh -p 22222 nlan...@localhost dd of=/home/nlandys/backup/dump0-root.gz dump -0Lan -f - /tmp | gzip | ssh -p 22222 nlan...@localhost dd of=/home/nlandys/backup/dump0-tmp.gz dump -0Lan -f - /var | gzip | ssh -p 22222 nlan...@localhost dd of=/home/nlandys/backup/dump0-var.gz dump -0Lan -f - /usr | gzip | ssh -p 22222 nlan...@localhost dd of=/home/nlandys/backup/dump0-usr.gz
... where port 22222 on localhost is a pipe to my remote desktop with the 500 GB harddrive. If I missed anything important please let me know. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
