FYI, syncronizing files between FreeBSD and other UNIX-like systems is quite easy with rsync [http://www.samba.org/rsync/]. This is also quite easy to automate (e.g. running rsync from cron). For simple and fast data exchange, nothing beats netcat. [nc(1)] For remote backups I tend to pipe the output of dump(8) through netcat on one machine, and pipe the output from a listening netcat on another mach= ine to a file. Suppose I want to backup machine 'foo' to machine 'bar'. On 'bar= ' I would start the following command:=20 'nc -l 65000 |bzip2 -c >foo-root-20090922.dump.bz2'. On 'foo' I would then start the following command as root:=20 'dump -0 -a -C 8 -L -u -f - /|nc bar 65000' Typically I would be doing this sitting behind one of those machines with t= he X window system running and a local terminal and a terminal running ssh to the other machine open.
