In case the OP wants to know what we're on about, and so we don't stray to far off topic here is an example of piping tar to SSH: tar cvpjf server_backup.tar.bz2 --same-owner \ --exclude=/proc/* \ --exclude=/media/* \ --exclude=/dev/* \ --exclude=/mnt/* \ --exclude=/sys/* \ --exclude=/tmp/* \ --exclude=/usr/tmp/* \ --exclude=/lost+found/* \ --exclude=/server_backup.tar.bz2 | ssh client_operator(a)backup.domain.com "dd of=server_backup.tar.bz2" Also, to make things more secure, and so you can give clients access to their own shares, if this is the case, you can easily Chroot SSH to their client share. And just give them the SSH certificate (which they'll easily be able to get anyways if they're not dumb so it's better you go ahead and Chroot ahead of time) so they can pull down their own backups. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It'll do most of what you're asking (I'm not sure about the "check data transfer" part). It saves files to a hard disk, but using the "archive" feature can export to a tape drive or other removable media. It has a nice web interface and you can give users rights to restore their own data, if you want to. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
