Hi, If you want to backup your mailserver to another machine, you should use netcat, cat for eg.
cat /dev/hda1 | netcat -l -p 1234 << do this on the mailserver netcat <ip of the mailserver> 1234 > /backup/backup.img << do this on the backup server Cheers, Domonkos Czinke -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 12:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Debian Backup Server Can anybody pls help me on how to have a full back up of a Mail Server (Running on Debian and Exim) ...
