Subject: Re: tar for "full" floppy backup?
Date: Sat, 07 Dec 2002 15:03:07 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3DF253FB.FCE749BE@gelm.net> (raw)

I did
tar -cyvf /boot /dev/fd0
and
/mnt# tar -xyvf /dev/fd0
and it created
/mnt/boot/
and all the files from /boot appeared in /mnt/boot
Next I tried
tar -cvMf /dev/fd0 /etc
and after some floppy action, I was prompted:
"Prepare volume #2 for /dev/fd0 and hit return:"
I'd recommend running 'badblocks' on the diskettes
and using only those that report 0 bad blocks.
;-)
tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13
...
HTH, Chuck
