Using tar and then scp would be fine. If you don't want to tar them up, you could look into something like rsync http://rsync.samba.org/. To backup your MySQL db, you need to do a mysqldump. It's a good thing to cron. For sendmail all that you should really need to back up is your virtusertable, sendmail.cw and sendmail.cf if you have made any changes to it. -Chris Phillips On Tue, 18 Jul 2000, Sam Carleton wrote: > The FreeBSD machine that I have setup is now sitting in a server room > that I do not have access to.
