Hi:
=20
I am looking for the correct backup procedure for my pc.
=20
kern.flp and mfsroot.flp: these two floppies I created on install as my
cdrom cannot install from the cds.
Are these in effect boot floppies should my system crash?
=20
What media should I backup to? Tape using dump?
=20
With these two floppies and the backup ought I be able to restore my
system?
=20
Cheers Ged.
