I'm backing up a directory on our server to a clients hard disk. The directory is mounted on the client via nfs and contains subdirectories. The directory is around 1Gb. Sometimes I get a clean copy but sometimes I have missing files. Is it correct to assume that the backup should have the same file size as the original? Any ideas about the missing files and would ftp be a better bet? Thanks, Steve.
Unless there is some problem with nfs not seeing .files, your copy command should work if done like cd / cp -a home /usr/local/ No need to get fancy... Mark
