Question Backing up over teh network?


I want to backup one machine to another. I was wondering if dump worked on ext3 because the man for dump and the dump site gives that impression. Anyway this is what I tryed:

dump 0uf backupcomputer:/tmp /tmp

and I this is what I get

DUMP: backupcomputer: Connection refused
DUMP: login to backupcomputer as root failed.


Any Ideas




Regards, Robert

rsync over ssh - you can set ssh to have a passwordless login then the job can be run from cron.

It works for me at work - I use it to mirror two Intranet servers and probably another 2 pairs of server in te near future.
