Hi Ruel, You can tar both mail and home directory using tar command and use the options that retain the permission of a certain file/directory. man tar would give you a better understanding on how to create a tar files. Helpful example which you can use/refer. tar -cvfp target.tgz source.tgz You can transfer/copy the tar file by secure copy or scp. scp -p source.tgz user@remoteserver:~/yourhomedir HTH glynn > > > > > > Ruel R.
