I haven't done it. I think the following two options are your best bet. Export the drive with NetBEUI and mount it as a SAMBA share on one of your *nix boxes. I don't think you will get the EAs from the HPFS partitions this way. Export a SAMBA share from you *nix box to mount on the OS/2 box and use OS/2's backup program to create a file on that share that will then be backed up by AMANDA. Third option, GNU tar and gzip exist for OS/2. http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-browse?sh=1&dir=/pub/os2/util/archiver If that version of GNU tar supports EA's, it might not be too difficult to get AMANDA built under EMX. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
