You just name the file using the -f parameter. In this case, use the -f, but specify the file as - and it uses STDOUT/STDIN. By the way, dump/restore will work over the net; just pipe it via ssh. When I have done that, it has seemed to be somewhat of a resource hog while it was going. But it worked. ////jerry > > Steve _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
