One simple thing that I've sometimes thought would be useful would be a way to re-create the pool links down any PC tree. That way you could rsync individual pc directories to an offsite location which usually works OK even with -H (I suppose there is some limit..) and then reconstruct the pooling to reclaim the duplicate space, repeating for each host or new backup without ever having to deal with the size of the combined pool/pc tree. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
