I need to backup a Solaris 8 system (actually parts therein) to a RH8 box.  I 
am currently doing that using a simple scp (secure copy) script. The RH8 
filesystem is ext3.  

Question 1) When I copy the files over (all normal files), they occupy 2-3 
times the space.  Why?

Question 2) is there a cleaner way to do this?  I read recently where someone 
suggested rsync.  I am investigating whether that is an option on the Solaris 
side.

Thanks for the assist.
