Next, I created a script that tars certain directories on my BSD box. After the tarring is complete, another small script is called that logs into the NT box and "puts" the tarball there where my DAT then backs it up. Notice, I add the tar routing to /etc/periodic/daily so that it run each night at 2:00 am - an the file name is thus: andrea.'date +%m%d%y'.tgz Which is: andrea.101199.tgz Yes - the permissions are kept... Email me if you want a finer walk through including the scripts I have written. This works well for me even though I have since put a DAT on my BSD box. Hope this helps...
