In this thread it says i can back up a FreeBSD system by sending the back up through the network, to a Linux system that has an ext3 formatted drive attached to it. Yet the output of:
Code:
#man -k ext3
On FreeBSD says that ext3 is unsupported.
and in this thread it says that OpenBSD can't be backed up to a Linux box over the network, to a Linux box with an ext3 formatted external drive attached to it, using rsync. So why can FreeBSD be backed up, over the network, using rsync and OpenBSD can't when both FreeBSD and OpenBSD don't support ext3??
Thank you very much for getting me one step closer to backing up all my *nixes
regards
