Hi, -Well, I can backup up my system using find and cpio now, thanks to -some help from the mailing list archives, but I must say I don't like -it too much. I wouldn't use cpio (or tar) to backup my system. They both have problems with special files, sparse file and files with long names. You should better use dump/restore instead. I' using the following command: dump 0uBf <nr-of-kblocks-on-tape> <tape-device> <file-system> Repeat foreach file system. ciao lutz --------------------------------------------------------------------- Lutz Albers | What's good ?
