There's a rather good article on vinum at daemonnews: http://www.daemonnews.org/200111/vinum.html You could also use dump, also included in the base system, to output to a file rather than tape. Neither would be quite as good as regular tape backups (off-site storage, recovery of deleted files, etc.), but better than nothing! -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
