[SunHELP] Copying data from one server to another

[chad kellerman]

you can do this:

cd /export/home       #Or where ever

#for i in *
do
echo $i
tar -cpf - $1 | ssh <ipaddress of new server> 'tar -C /export/home -cpf -'
done


 if you like bash scripting.  I like, this is the way I do it if I can't mount the drives on another server.
