Does anyone know if we are doing a weekly backup to the /var directory, when it is done, can you move the backup to another server.

Yes, this is not only possible, but recommended. It is a good idea to keep backups on long-term media for disaster recovery.

You can transfer the numbered directories anyway you want.

Do you mean a backup within CiscoWorks?

Yes. We created a directory called CW_Backup under /var/adm directory. The backups are completing successfully but we would like to move the backup directory (0, plus everything under it) to another server for archival purposes.

Let me clarify, copy the date to another server.
