Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We are running FreeBSD on a "noname" Pentium machine, with a floppy drive and a CD drive. We are running this as our web server and our email server. I am living dangerously, because I do not have a backup. How do I create a backup of the system? What software do you recommend and can I perform a backup to floppies, or should I have a tape drive installed? Thank you very much for helping me! -- Megan Connolly The Haverford School Technology Specialist 450 Lancaster Avenue 610-642-3020, ext 279 Haverford, PA 19460 http://www.haverford.pvt.k12.pa.us/
