Hi all... Me again...
Has anyone been able to do a multivolume tar format backup to diskettes?
I tried it tonight but I wasnt at the end of the first diskette that
TAR got to the /dev directory and hung there. I presume that the hang
is due to the backup of the /dev files, but this didnt allow me to test
the multi-volume situation.
Could anyone enlighten me on how to go about in doing backups to t
diskettes (preferably with TAR) but I do think that (if memory serves
me right) only cpio is capable of backing up device files.
Any thoughts on this?
Doug!
