Last week i back'ed up a machine with 4 80G disks as RAID5 with the method |
| 9 |
mentioned before. tar-size on the desination machine was about 120GB |
| 10 |
compressed (yes, one File:). Both filesystems are reiserfs. |

Restore again wih the same method, only the other way around, to 4 |
| 13 |
250GB-disks. No problems. |

you delete the source. Compression is a good check that no data has been |
| 17 |
changed during transfer of the data. |
