So far I have come up with this, but I don't think it best. What I like to ask the group is does anyone have a nice back up script that can share with me, or can you expand on my script. One more question can you do exclude with cpio like tar?
Filter the filenames before you pipe them to cpio. Or adjust your find parameters.
find -d . -print | cpio -ova > /backup/$host.$dat.cpio
I would use:
find -d . -print0 | cpio --null -ova > /backup/$host.$dat.cpio
to cope with all kinds of weird and wonderful filenames.

Thanks Per I will try that out. Randall, this is meant a temp solution. We are set up Netback up, but until then we have to be back to recovery these boxes should anything go pear shape. Thanks I will look into CrashPlan. -- ---------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!
