some time ago I used a program called ftpbackup or something like that... I think I had found it at freshmeat.net.. now I'm making backups via scp, by making it not ask for passwd from certain hosts to do this you have to import one host identity to another to the ssh's authorized_keys file this can be a security risk, be sure to know what you are doing, and how to block access in order to let it be done only from the hosts you want.. but there are many other backup tools in freshmeat you'll probably find many of them.. regards, juaid -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
