Be careful though. Doing this with a > large group of files at once seems to give random dropouts. On that note, across numerous computers and OSs, and network schemes, and file managing programs, I've always found that sort of thing to happen. It's meant that I've given up on doing backups on/with large storage devices, because it *always* cocks up, and it's a big pain in the neck to try and sort out which files got skipped, aborted, partially transferred, or corrupted. If I want to copy, say a few thousand files, I have to spend hours manually selecting batches of no more than a few hundred files at a time. I have NEVER got this to work well. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
