Hmm...dunno if it'll be any faster, but you could try cpio. It's another old standby, and uses a different directory structure. But it sounds like you're dealing with a lot of data, so there are still a lot of bytes to slap around. Others have mentioned rsync. If you want actual backup, take a look at Amanda, but be prepared--it's relatively complex. -- Dave Ihnat President, DMINET Consulting, Inc. dihnat@xxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
