I'm going to try something I found on the Gentoo Wiki: # emerge netcat Remote machine runs # nc -l -p 10000 > image.gz Machine I'm backing up: # dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip | nc -w 5 remote_ip 10000 What do you think? I'm a bit puzzled by rsync at the moment so this seems to be a simple short term fix. Thanks, Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
