Sounds like a job for dump+ssh+dd, something like (UNTESTED, UNCHECKED in docs, etc.) dump -0f - /dev/sda1 | bzip2 | ssh [email protected] dd of=/path/to/backup.bz2 (definitely check options of dump - I am rusty). -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [email protected] _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
