Read up on rsync. (rsync.samba.org) You can (disk space permitting) backup to the AIX box, and after the first time, only transmit changed data. You could elect to always have a full backup on the AIX system ready for recovery: instead of doing a full restore and then several incremental restores, you only need do the one. I plan a backup server for small business based on the technology. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Join the "Linux Support by Small Businesses" list at http://mail.computerdatasafe.com.au/mailman/listinfo/lssb
