In my ignorance as a newbie I didn't know if sticking a tape drive in the servers and using tar to perform backups would catch open files. In my somewhat lesser ignorant state as a familiar freebsd guy, I still don't know so I figured I'd ask. Will open files (web pages, etc) be backed up to tape using tar? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Eric Stanfield, K2Access Keno Kozie and Associates 222 N LaSalle #1500 Chicago, IL 60606 (312) 332-3000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
