I've got a Windows2000 machine on the same LAN as my FreeBSD machine and I'd like to dump(8) to a disk on that machine (from there I can use a CD-burner). The man page for dump mentions that if I used host:file as a target I can backup to another machine. On the surface I might then think that : -f 192.168.10.2:C:\somedirectoryonwindows\ would work but ITRW I've got a feeling this _won't_ work ! As the resulting files will be quite large I don't just want to suck it and see. Is anyone out there "dump"ing to a non-Unix machine and willing to tell me how they do it ? BTW (just checking my reading of the man page) what I'd like to do is to arrange it so that dump produces files small enough to fit on a CD - I take it that -B 666000 would do that ? (where 666000 is size of a CD-R in bytes divided by 1024). Is there any benefit to using smaller files ? Any other gotchas I should watch out for ? thanks richard shea. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Cuba Group PO Box 1864 Wellington New Zealand PH +64 4 496 5205 MO +64 21 296 6839 FX +64 4 496 5209 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
