From: cbmartin@whale.st.usm.edu (Charles Bryan Martin) Subject: Backing up question Date: 31 Jul 1993 21:00:40 GMT
I have a question for all you Linuxers. I recently installed the SLS 1.02
version (from TSX-11). In the process, I accidentally destroyed what I
had from previous installs. (The install program was looking for
e2fs, and I had the older efs.) I realize that all this stuff that I
had is gone now. I would like to know how I can back up what I have at
this time to prevent me from having to spend days scowering the net to
find the stuff I lost. I do not have any SCSI capabilities. I do
have a QIC-80 tape drive, but the code for that is not finished for
Linux (at last I heard). I read a while ago (probibly back in Febuary
or March) that there was a way to back up to floppy disk. I have
searched the new FAQ (put out last month), and did not find anything
about it. Can anyone tell me (or at least point me in the right
direction) to how I can do this or give me other options to backing
up my hard drive? (Backing up 200 MB of stuff to floppy doesn't excite
me.) I would appreciate ANY help that anyone can give me.
Thank you.
