Subject: tar for "full" floppy backup?
Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2002 09:24:20 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200212070919.CAA12532@cu.imt.net> (raw)
Hello everyone --
Thank you for offering me various suggestions on how to possibly
get tar to make a backup archive on multiple floppies. Sorry to
say, none of the suggestions worked.
The only result was that tar would make an archive in whatever
directory I happened to be in when creating the archive -- and
it would ignore the /dev/fd0 device.
When I used the "M" option, nothing occurred. When I tried
adding the "z" option, I was told that multiple compressed archives
were not possible.
When I try to use the Slackware manual command (SAMS), it messes
up the floppy -- which has to be reformatted and so on.
The question remains: How can I back up -- with tar or any other
Slackware 3.5 program -- my 9 MBs of files from the BasicLinux
console with multiple floppies? And in compressed format?
