Dump works on complete file systems only, I only want dumps of a particular folder, so if the folder in question is not currently it's own filesystem, what are the steps to make it one ?

well that's kind of advanced for me...but, you could create a new partition and copy the folder to it and mount that partition...other than that I have no clue
yup, that's what I had to do alright
p.s.
if you add an additional IDE hard drive and you don't see it in fdisk or label editor of /stand/sysinstall, you didn't add them correctly, did you ?
well, glad it worked out, that makes one of us that conquered linux today... :mad:
Would anyone here know why rsync would send files to a remote server even though they are unchanged ? I'll run rsync commands back to back with no change in the files and 3/4 of the files get re-sent...
here's the command:
rsync -p --password-file=/etc/rs.xxx --links --verbose --compress --stats --recursive --delete /usr/web3/ [email protected]::www
well I've never used it before...but is it read-only or does it change the file times causing them not to match and resending?
Why don't you use tar if all you want is part of a file system
Well someone took over my test box but Waldo2k2 probably hit the nail on the head, I'll try it with the -t option.
I'm not using tar, because I don't think it does incrementals, besides then I'd have to ftp the tarball to the remote server correct ?
