Topicbox-Message-UUID: 36d387ec-ead8-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 I see a lot of interesting things on this thread, but all of those are beyond my knowledge. I'm just starting to learn programming (K&R), the internal structure of the file system is too much for me now. I'm thinking about mount dump, and copy the /n/dump directory to other system (linux). So my questions are: - Is there a way to simulate the incremental backup feature of gnu tar? - Is possible to restore the system in a new disk with this copy of dump? - What do you recommend me for send the tar file, ssh, nfs or other thing? thanks, trebol.
