Please cc: any responses to my email address. Thank you! Dan, I would try the r-command stuff and make sure that is working correctly. Then try piping maybe a tar output throught. If that all works give rdump another shot. Personally, I use the auto-size feature: rdump 0auf user@host:/dev/nrst0 Partition P.S. Howday, it has been a long time. --- Bob Beer Ohio Northern University, Academic Computer Services, Ada, OH 45810 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
