Something encrypted would be nice aswell. Here is a script I run out of crontab on my Mac. Things to note: - Uses tar to create the backup. - Uses rcp to get the backup to the FreeBSD box. Could use scp if security is an issue. - It is a cshell script. - No software to find and install, everything you need is already on your Mac and freeBSD boxes. - I do a primary backup every night; no secondaries. - The script has been in production for about a year now and works flawlessly. - Restores are easy, just reverse the process. - I get an email daily giving me the status of the backup. - The tar file is written to /tmp before it is copied to the backup server so disk space could be an issue. - The tar file could be gziped (tar czf ) to save space at the expense of cpu time. - The log directory contains the status of the last two backups. - The backup server maintains 31 days of primaries. ## #!/bin/csh set LHOST=`hostname` set BASE=/backup_4/$LHOST set INFOPATH=/Users/root/dump_info set RHOST=some.remote.host set RUSER=rmotuser set TARCMD=tar cf set BKUP_DIR=/Users set SUCCESS_SUBJECT=$LHOST primary succeeded set FAIL_SUBJECT=$LHOST primary failed set MAIL_TO=[EMAIL PROTECTED] set SEQFILE=$INFOPATH/Sequence echo *** `date` $LHOST Begin setup for this primary backup echo *** `date` Set sequence number of this dump if(-s $SEQFILE) then set LAST=`cat $SEQFILE` else echo WARNING: $SEQFILE non-existant or 0 size echo Set last sequence to 0 set LAST=0 endif echo *** `date` Last sequence number used: $LAST switch($LAST) case 0: set SEQ=1 breaksw case 1: set SEQ=0 breaksw default: echo WARNING: Dump sequence is invalid: $LAST echoSet dump sequence to 0 set SEQ=0 breaksw endsw echo *** `date` Sequence number of this dump is: $SEQ echo *** `date` Set path variables set INFO=$INFOPATH/primary.$SEQ set FILE=Users_$SEQ.tar set [EMAIL PROTECTED]:$BASE/$FILE set TMPFILE=/var/tmp/$FILE echo Path to backup: $BKUP_DIR echo Log file..: $INFO echo Temporary file: $TMPFILE echo Remote file...: $RFILE echo *** `date` $LHOST Setup for this primary backup complete echo *** `date` $LHOST primary backup begun $INFO echo *** `date` Sequence number of this dump is: $SEQ$INFO echo *** `date` get space used in $BKUP_DIR $INFO du -hs $BKUP_DIR/* $INFO echo *** `date` tar $BKUP_DIR to $TMPFILE$INFO $TARCMD $TMPFILE $BKUP_DIR $INFO set rslt=$status if($rslt != 0) then echo FATAL: tar failed, status=$rslt $INFO set subject=$FAIL_SUBJECT goto pgm_exit endif echo *** `date` Check size of $TMPFILE $INFO ls -l $TMPFILE $INFO echo *** `date` rcp $TMPFILE to $RFILE $INFO rcp $TMPFILE $RFILE $INFO set rslt=$status if($rslt != 0) then echo FATAL: rcp failed, status=$rslt $INFO set subject=$FAIL_SUBJECT goto pgm_exit endif echo *** `date` rm $TMPFILE $INFO rm $TMPFILE $INFO set rslt=$status if($rslt != 0) then echo FATAL: rm failed, status=$rslt $INFO set subject=$FAIL_SUBJECT goto pgm_exit endif set subject=$SUCCESS_SUBJECT echo *** `date` Record sequence number of this dump $INFO echo $SEQ $SEQFILE pgm_exit: echo *** `date` Exit status=$subject $INFO echo *** `date` $LHOST primary backup ended $INFO mail -s $subject $MAIL_TO $INFO exit 0 ### ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, FreeBSD is quite happy handling MS-DOS partitions, so there is no reason you shouldn't use tar, together with whatever compression you like. For example, I have backed up vfat partitions simply by mounting them, changing to the root of them and doing tar cvjf /odds/system-vfat.tar.bz2 ., /odds being a filesystem with lots of space, then worked out a way to get that file onto a CD, or using cdbackup, multiple CDs. That's it. Worked like a charm.

kernel panic in bpf_mtap
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
In a 4.8-STABLE kernel (cvsup'd yesterday), I'm getting a kernel panic
early in bpf_mtap. I use bpf extensively (through the pcap library),
but am now getting panics. This occurs on code I'm working on,
not by default.
This is happening on my laptop running 4.7 and 4.8, as well as my
desktop running 4.8-RC from March, so it is unlikely this is a hardware
problem. They are attached to different networks right now. I can
reproduce the kernel panic with high degree of regularity (50% of the
times I run a program that takes less than 2 seconds).
Below is the output from a gdb of the kernel core dump. My read is
the mbuf chain got messed up. I've tried tracing back the execution
path to figure out where it's being set, but it's a bit opaque to
someone with limited knowledge of the FreeBSD kernel (me). In case
it matters, the received packet is an ARP request packet (hrd=ARPHRD_ETHER,
format=8, hln=6, pln=4, op=ARPOP_REQUEST).
The panic itself said the panic occured at bpf_mtap+0x18: addl
0xc(%eax),%esi.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on? It's possible,
perhaps likely, that my software has a bug which is corrupting memory
somehow, but I would not expect that to cause a kernel panic.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
