When you have the image of a slice generated by 'dd', it contains its partitions and filesystems.

The problem is that the only place where I can put the backup is a samba mount. dd and dump won't work (they won't put the data on a directory). What else could I do? There probably are some dozen possibilities, but you could try /usr/ports/net/rsync Regards, Uli. Don't forget that I also need to backup the whole / and /var (which gives sometimes problems with some unreadable files) Thank you! -- Pietro Piter Cerutti [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beansidhe - SwiSS Death / Thrash Metal www.beansidhe.ch Windows: Where do you want to go today?
