I'm going to try something I found on the Gentoo Wiki: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
# emerge netcat |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Remote machine runs |
| 12 |
# nc -l -p 10000 > image.gz |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Machine I'm backing up: |
| 15 |
# dd if=/dev/hda1 | gzip | nc -w 5 remote_ip 10000 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
What do you think? I'm a bit puzzled by rsync at the moment so this |
| 18 |
seems to be a simple short term fix. Thanks, Richard |
