anyone know how to back a unix system (in this case irix 6.2) to a FreeBSD machine? I know Irix has some backup to tape feature, but I don't have a tape drive. I wanna back everything onto my FreeBSD box before I start tinkering with alternate OSes on the Indy.
 
you want to back it the data on ur irix box to ur freebsd's harddrive via network, right? .. well if thats all i guess you could create a dir on ur bsd, /irixfiles, and jus copy everything from ur / on the irix to that dir, or jus what you want to keep .. hm maybe n0c or dahitman have a better idea though, bump and good luck ..

That's what I was thinking actually... but will this work when I want to do a restore? What I mean to ask is, does Irix have it special compression/uncompression method?

 
Jut rsync the important data over the the freebsd box. You could even tar everything, use compress to compress it, and then scp it over. You do have an irix OS cd right?

EDIT: Just noticed in the other thread you dont have the cd. Ill read that and reply here again if I have anything more, sorry 🙂
