[leaf-user] Backing up LEAF disks over the network.

2005-07-21 Thread James Neave
Hi, Can anybody tell me how I could back up a LEAF disk over the network? I can get and put files to my LEAF boxes using SCP, but at the moment the only way to take a backup image is to put the disk in another machine and take an image backup. It's probably dd but I don't know how to set that up

Hi Charles, I guess that will only work if you're connecting to the LEAF box with a *NIX box, yes? I have PuTTY on my WinXP machine, I don't think I can do that command with it. Could I pipe the output of dd through gzip? Or is there anyway to directly read /dev/fd0u1680 with scp I have WinSCP?

Thank you for the tips. I tried them to backup my compact flash. But the speed is very slow. I did try both ways, dd to /tmp and then scp (Erich's way) and dd on the fly using ssh (Charles' way). In both cases it took about 5 minutes to either 'scp' or 'dd-over-ssh' 64M. In case of 'scp',

My LEAF is WRAP box, the other machine is Pentium 3 running Fedora Core 3. I know SCP/SSH encrypts data but this is done via local network and should not be such slow. - Original Message - From: Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: M Lu [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc:

[leaf-user] Multicast routing

2005-07-21 Thread James Neave
Hi! Last one for today :) Multicast routing. Does anybody know what it would take to turn Bering-uClibc into a multicast enabled router? My provider, NTL, is apparently multicast enabled. So I could watch and listen to multicast transmissions if I have one windows box attached to the usb port
