Assistance with accessibily backing up my grml installation.
Hi, I need some assistance from anyone who can provide it. I wish to tar, my entire root file system, and make the tar file create on another box via ssh. I am booted into the Live-disk, ATM. Any suggestions? If you have any, let me know. My idea was: to mount the root file system under something like: /mnt/grmlSystem. Then: tar czpf - /mnt/grmlSystem | ssh box@remotebox cat > Grml.tar.gz Would this work? If I have made an syntax error, please correct it, or something. I don ot wish, nor will I use slash exclude, as grml itself won't be running physically on the drive in question. Regards,
