Date: 4 May 1996 14:13:55 GMT Organization: SimpleX Networking Amsterdam Lines: 23 Message-ID: <4mfon3$gib@news.simplex.nl> NNTP-Posting-Host: xs1.simplex.nl X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi, I've got this HP DAT SCSI tape, and would like to make backups with it. I'm currently using plain old 'tar' for it, and that works fine as far as I can see. However, it would be great to use an incremental backup system like dump/restore, so I'm looking into that right now. Questions are: - What's normally used to make backups of 2-4Gb disk volume to a DAT ? - What parameters do I specify for the tape .. it's a 90 meter 2Gb cartridge. Cheers, - Rob. -- /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\
