copying a file system across the network

[Lindsay Allen <allen@cleo.murdoch.edu.au>]

Past messages have detailed how to copy a file system from one drive to
another, but now I need to do it across the network.  Of course I need to
preserve soft and hard links and device files.

I do have a tape device here, but at 525Mb it's nowhere near big enough
for the job.  I have ssh but not rsh.

Is there a straight-forward way of doing this?  Thanks for any pointers.

Lindsay
