<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need some assistance from anyone who can provide
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wish to tar, my entire root file system, and make
the tar file create on another box via ssh.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am booted into the Live-disk, ATM.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you have any, let me know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My idea was: to mount the root file system under
something like:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/mnt/grmlSystem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>tar czpf - /mnt/grmlSystem | ssh <A
href="mailto:box@remotebox">box@remotebox</A> cat >
Grml.tar.gz</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Would this work?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I have made an syntax error, please correct it,
or something.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don ot wish, nor will I use slash exclude, as
grml itself won't be running physically on the drive in question.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
