I need to backup a Solaris 8 system (actually parts therein) to a RH8 box. I am currently doing that using a simple scp (secure copy) script. The RH8 filesystem is ext3.
Question 1) When I copy the files over (all normal files), they occupy 2-3 times the space. Why?
Question 2) is there a cleaner way to do this? I read recently where someone suggested rsync. I am investigating whether that is an option on the Solaris side.
Use tar.
tar czvpf - (some files, or directory) |ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat >my.tarfile.tgz
