You should break your problem up into smaller problems and then glue them together. First, try tar, star, or rsync for the filesystem. Your SQL database should also have a tool for taking backups of the database. rsync over ssh, or scp, or curl over FTP, or piping directly over a stunnel might work for getting that data over the WAN to another site. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
