If this meant anything to you, hopefully it should be obvious that the destination partition must be the same size of larger. If it is large, the extra space will be lost. It does point out, however, that you don't have to have ssh. My cpio suggestion could be done using nc instead and skip the ssh server requirement. -- Stuart Jansen "The gods do not protect fools.
