Not exactly an answer to your question, but i would do this: umount /var/lib/backuppc dd if=/dev/onedisk of=/dev/someotherdisk bs=1M this will overwrite /dev/someotherdisk with a complete copy of the /var/lib/backuppc filesystem. If it's not its own filesystem, well, you need to do the rest of the filesystem. In practice, rsync -H is the reasonable way to do what you're after, EXCEPT that there are just too many hard links on a backuppc data store for this to work. danno -- Dan Pritts, Sr. Systems Engineer Internet2 office: +1-734-352-4953 | mobile: +1-734-834-7224 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
