If by best, you mean fastest, and you are using the ext2 or ext3 file system; then the good old fashioned 'dump' command is going to be an order of magnitude faster than any other method.

Dan-


well... but is necessary to stop the backuppc server before to start the dump? the problem is that the usb HD doesn't have the ext2/3 fs, but hfsplus (apple).

Another question using tar method:

using the command BackupPC_archiveHost, I can convert a backup to a .gz with a command like:

$Path_B/BackupPC_archiveHost $Path_B/BackupPC_tarCreate /usr/bin/split /usr/bin/par2 $PC 1 /bin/gzip .gz 0 $MOUNTPOINT 0 \"*\"

but with this command i can have the backup number 1 and not 2 or 3 or 4.... because "...$PC 1 /bin...". Exist a method to have the last backup available complete of the incrementals ones without specify a number? I need to automathe that in a script.

ciao
