Hello fellow FreeBSD users: I have a simple question. How can I make backups to 1.44MB disks usings tar? I would also like to filter the tar file through gzip as well in order to reduce the number of disks that I use. I have tried: tar --block-compress -z -c -v -f /dev/rfd0a -b 36 <directory> tar cvfbk /dev/fd0 1440 4 <directory> and a million other combinations. Tar begins making the archive but does not prompt me to insert the next disk. When I untar the one disk I can restore all the data on the disk but of course that is all. I really hope that someone can help. Thanks in advance. --- Matt Massie matt@abraxas.wustl.edu
