Re: [cobalt-users] Is there a way to copy and move the entire con tents of the Hard drive

["LightSpeedServers.Net" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, so basically tar the whole contents of the server into one of my virtual
site directorys

Then use wget from the destination to grab it.

Now, does the tar copy the hidden files on the server?

And are there any forseeable problems w/ the OS not function properly after
this.  Remember, I will be yanking everything!!  Just curious if I need to
look out for potential problems doing this.

One benefit, after I move my files I will finally have a real RAQ4 - LOL.


Thank you,

Michael T. Ross
