It's more complex than that. Following your suggestion would create a backup of /mnt/samba/data; it's unlikely that that is the correct location for the "real" server. We ended up setting up ssh and a chroot'd account so that the server could connect to itself via ssh and then backup the appropriate directories, and have them look as if they were the real /etc, /home, and so on. -- Keith Edmunds +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Tiger Computing Ltd | Helping businesses make the most of Linux | | "The Linux Company" | http://www.tiger-computing.co.uk | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
