Is the backup RAID array at least the same size as the original? Your best bet is probably to use tar + gzip to send the whole raw partition over the network to the remote machine, but for this to work, you will need to be able to unmount the primary so that it doesn't change during the backup (which will take a while over a 10Mbps link). -Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
