Ummm -- The solution proposed is rather not suited to your situation. Assuming you have root access, and fast intervening bandwidth, you might prefer: rsync -av -e ssh --exclude /proc remote.machine.com:/. \ /path/in/local/filesystem/with/lots/of/space/. which basically 'photocopies' the remote machine onto your local filesystem, so you may inventory and experiment as you wish. You man also then use a variant of the above command to build an identical local physical replica of the remote host. -- Russ Herrold _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
