I made some tests with smbclient and gzip, and it seems to me that what I'm doing should be safe, but I'd like to know if this kind of input and output redirection has some "hidden" drawbacks/problems: may it cause corruption of output files? backup: smbclient '\\server\share' -Tc - | gzip > file.tar.gz restore: gzip -dc file.tar.gz | smbclient '\\server\share' -Tx - Thanks. -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it
