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.
     

 Use tar.

tar czvpf  -  (some files, or directory) |ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat

>my.tarfile.tgz
   

Well It sounded great....unfortunately all it does is create the loccal tar 
file.

 

 Forgot the  quote to prevent the shell from stealing the >.

tar czpf - (some files) |ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'cat >foo.tgz'
