Hi All, Further to this backup problem I had. With the tar command below, I will be putting it into a script, is there anyway of putting the password in the script so it automatically runs? I know I can authenticate with keys, but it's not a preferred method as the way SSH is installed on the server is a hack, and therefore very temperamental.

I'm not fond of amanda though, and generally don't recommend it, so you could go a few steps simpler and use tar over ssh: tar --rsh-command=/usr/bin/ssh -czvf <server>:/dev/mt0 <files> Cute, huh? :-) > Now for the question: > The same server is a dual Xeon 1800Mhz, I have checked under the hood, > and it is that, but when I cat /proc/cpuinfo it says there is 4 cpu's, > id's 0 - 3. Why? Because... It's YOUR LUCKY DAY! ;-) Hmm...
