1. If you want to backup partitions I would suggest to use dump rather then
tar, but for directories tar is probably better:
tar cf - /var | (ssh remote-host "cd /dist-directory tar xvf -")
or if you want it to back-up directory into to a file:
tar cf - /var | (ssh remote-host dd=filename)
Make sure ssh/rsh doesn't require password.
Aa alternative, you may use NFS mount partitions and run this commands
localy.

Subject: backup using tar RHL FC3
Does anyone know how to create a "tar ball" or backup of important
partitions like var and usr to a location either on the server or onto
another machine (like a windows machine)?
