I think you're going about it the wrong way. - can you set up a cron job on the remote machine to push the backup to your machine (or where-ever)? The cron job can run the backup as root, so you wouldn't need to worry about permissions. - Google on the search term +ssh +"remote backup" for a whole bunch of examples. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, and has a lower TCO, than linux. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
