The only thing you are doing wrong is believing that the backup that Cobalt
provides on the Qube2 works - it does NOT

The only products that I know of that have a working backup are the Qube3
and possibly the RaQXTR.  I should know when I worked for Cobalt I was a
thorn in the various peoples side to get it fixed and was promised that some
time ago, sadly Sun wasn't that bothered in past products and didn't let the
Cobalt people do what they wanted.

Your best bet is to use either the CMU program by Jeff Bilicki
http://www.cobalt.com/support/download/qube.migration.html or use rsync as
suggested by others it really is quite easy to set-up but you will need to
compile from source or make sure that you get a MIPS rpm if there is one

Good luck

Gavin
ps you might be able to modify the raqbackup.sh script at
http://www.neuhaus-internet.de/cobalt/raqbackup/ to work for a qube then you
will get daily backups ftped to another box
