Don, On these mailing lists, we really prefer it if people wouldn't "top-post", instead add your comments in-line and eliminate text that isn't relevant. * Don Seiler (don@xxxxxxxxx) wrote: > In the meantime I'll look at using the --link method and rsync.

Yes, it's much more efficient, but I strongly recommend taking a backup as close to before the upgrade as possible, being extremely careful throughout the process, plan for a good bit of time above what the actual commands take to run, and make sure that you have *tested* your backup and *restore* process well and have strong confidence in it. Thanks! Stephen
