One way is to use NFS to mount the root directory of the FreeBSD server into a directory on the Linux box (e.g. /mnt/FreeBSD). Then just backup that directory like you would back up any other directory in Linux (look at the man page for tar). Check out the NFS howto at: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO.html --- Langa Kentane <evablunted@earthling.net> wrote: > Hi > > I am very new to Unix and have am have a task that i > need to do but don't know how to solve.
