The idea would be something like the remote replication at the bottom of this page. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/6n7ht6qsd?a=view Stop backuppc momentarily, make a snapshot, send the snapshot to another system, repeat the next day with an incremental. You can probably get an idea about feasibility if you redirect to files like some of the other examples and note the sizes compared to the filesystem contents. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
