Hello All, As a long time lurker .... This is a great list. This question may be a bit off topic but I beleive it would be helpful to others. Here goes. In a multi sever environment with one cd-writer (hp6020i). I would like to create cd-roms of the root partitions on my other servers (not all freebsd :-( tho). I am not too familar with the guts of how cd-writers work other than I have to be careful that the "feed" to the writer is steady. Should I just dd from svr1 its root part. to svr2 to disk, Then dd to the cd-writer (disk space is ample)? Or do you think I could just do it directly to the cd-writer mount point from the foriegn root mount point? Then the big question how do you verify a backup to a cd-writer? Thanks -dp---------------------------------------- Dale Phillips Seize the day but ... dphillip@tabfs.com don't strangle it!
