floppy drives, maxtor 71084 AP 1036mb. As of yet I have no tape backup
system.

I want to make a backup of some files some of which whose size exceeds the
limits of my floppy drives. I tried to run dump a0uf /dev/rfd0 /[directory

Q: Do I have to configure the disk drives in /etc/fstab to enable this
operation?
