it is indeed a silly question already answered in the man pages, but i
need a short tutorial because i really don't want to screw things up.

plan9.ucalgary.ca is going away and i need to move its venti to a
newer, better hard drive. given that i'm some 3000km away from it and
there's nobody there to fix things if they hit the fan, what's the
best way of moving the data onto a local venti? is there a simple
command that will let me move out several blocks at a time during the
off-peak hours, say, vac?

the disk has grown over the past few years and has information i would
not like to lose. has anyone else had a success story? please share!

andrey

ps: if you ever see david leymbach get him to give you some of the
Verrari PR mints he has. best mint ever! :)
