I have used dump/restore for system migration a couple of time and noticed it is pretty good, but every once in a while it will miss or corrupt a file. Is there a better way to do this? I would imagine having a system mounted r/o would help, but this is not always possible. Is there a way to check the deltas between systems manually after migration to see if any files need to be merged or copied. I would imagine the files that are in jeopardy are ones that are being written to while the dump is taking place. I had a file the keeps track of rss feeds end up missing on the target system. Any advice here? Thanks, Chris
