Date: Sat, 26 Feb 1994 18:22:20 GMT Organization: Western Business School Lines: 18 Message-ID: <MARK.822.2D6F935C@ardsley.business.uwo.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: home-pc2.business.uwo.ca I have a 4mm dat drive. I would like to backup the system. Currently I am doing this from root.... tar cvf /dev/rst0 * Is there a reason that I should be doing something else? I want a backup that I can use for individual files as well as a full system restore. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Mark Bramwell, VE3PZR Located in sunny London, Ontario Internet: Mark@ARDSLEY.business.uwo.ca IP Address: 129.100.22.33 Packet: VE3PZR @ VE3GYQ UWO Phone: (519) 661-3714
