[cobalt-users] The big backup question (Raq)

[Scott Beale <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys, how are you backing up all the files on your Raqs?

We all know that this will not work through the control 
panel when you try to back up all the files for all the 
sites. It always times out and Cobalt has admitted to this 
flaw.

We also know that you can't back up to an external tape 
drive from a Raq.

Is there a way to tar and simultaneously FTP to another 
server? I can't tar all my files first and then download 
because the big tar file will exceed the storage capacity 
of my hard drive if I'm more than 50% full.

It's hard for me to believe that everyone who owns a Raq 
is not backing up their data, so there must be some way 
to do it. What's the secret?
