I mean in more detail. What daemons are running to do what, using what files?
I don't know. How would I determine that? I tried a ps -aux but it didn't seem to tell me anything that made sense to me; only one file said daemon.

Quote:
Someone had to set this up at some point in time.
Yes, unfortunately, that individual is no longer with the company, I contacted him and he was either unwilling or unable to help me further with what he had done. (Though, it would be amusing to think of a Linux server spontaneously setting itself up somewhere; divine code-eption?. OK, bad joke, I'll stop now.)

Code:
uname -a command return:
Linux servername.location 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Wed May 12 21:56:10 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

I have no idea. How long it takes depends on how large it is and how fast your computer is and how fast your drive is. Quote:
and vs. say doing it through the udpcast as you suggested above?
Direct connection would probably be faster.
Fair enough. You answered my poorly written question despite its ambiguity. I understand it is dependent on computer speed, disk size etc.

A good start would be all the output of
Code:
df -h
fdisk -l
Okay, here it is:
Code:
df -h

I hope that helps clarify things. Again, thank you for your continuing help.
