Date: 9 Mar 1997 02:48:01 GMT Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Lines: 9 Distribution: world Message-ID: <5ft8d1$mcm@vixen.cso.uiuc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: sparc12.cs.uiuc.edu Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:36797 In the ports collection, there is afio, which is an excellent backup engine; however, the scripts which are included with it are pretty simple. There is an excellent script which supports it for Linux called tbackup; has anyone tried porting this to FreeBSD? Or has anyone written a backup script on top of afio or anything else? I'm looking to backup a 150 MB directory on to floppies (don't worry; I've been doing it this way forveer :-) so good error checking is a must. Cheers, Terry Murphy
