an AFP server, but there is little information on the client.  Any suggestions? rsync ? Cheers, Steph Well I am using the dump command, and I am not sure if I want to dump to the same partition that I am backing up. Can I use rsync to pipe the dump output via ssh? Thanks, Chris

that you are backing up is a bad idea. In order to use these methods I would have to dump, then transfer the dump file. If I can use rsync to pipe the dump output, that would probably work. I think I remember reading about that somewhere. Thanks, Chris

I tried mounting a mac box to my FreeBSD server a while back, but I think I was not able to get it to go RW. How do you set up NFS as a service in OSX 10.4? That would be the best way as my backup scripts are already set up to do an NFS mount. Thanks, Chris On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 3:22 PM
