It is safer and just as efficient. Notice one could use the r-version of dump, rdump, to write the dump file on a networked machine. Its simpler than setting up NFS. Modern versions apparently support ssh, which eliminates most of the security fears of traditional r-commands. If rdump works for you then rrestore should as well. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
