Greetings all;
=A0
I will shortly have a 200gig external firewire drive on my G4 (10.2.8),=20=
and I was wondering about partitioning it, formatting one partition as=20=
whatever-format-is-appropriate, and using it to backup up my NetBSD=20
(1.6.1, Cobalt Qube II) installation (backup across the network).
=A0
If anyone can recommend a tool or two (or even a fancy use of tar) that=20=
I could use to back up across the network, I'd appreciate pointers.=A0=20=
I'd very much like to be able to archive my working 1.6.1. system=20
before trying to update to a newer release. Especially with the recent=20=
pkgsrc posts.

Thanks for any advice;
