Greetings, I've got a bit of a problem on my hands. I've got a laptop with a 4GB drive, that currently has about 1.7GB free (less than half). It has a CDROM(not a burner) & floppy drive. Thus, the only way I can get files on or off the HD, is via the floppy or with scp (ssh).
The HD is partitioned so that hda1 is /boot, hda2 is swap, and hda3 is / What I want to do is backup the entire disk, however since I don't have enough free space on the HD, i can't just create one big tarball. Does anyone know of a way to pipe the output from tar to scp so that i could automatically dump the tarball onto a remote box? I've been pooring through the tar & scp man pages and can't find any way of doing this. If anyone has any alternate solutions, i'd be eager to hear them as well. thanks! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
