- Dump Utility (Support Section), DUMP.TTP
- ========================================
-
- DUMP.TTP allows individual or multiple partitions to be dumped, i.e.
- image backup, to tape. This form of backup is a lot faster than a selective
- file backup provided by my own port of GNU tar v1.10, which incidentally
- supports SCSI tape drives using the TapeBIOS function calls.
-
- DUMP.TTP takes arguments. These arguments are as follows:-
-
- e.g. dump.ttp [-a] [drivelist] [dumpname_a] [dumpname_b] [etc...]
-
- Example, to dump drives C: F: and G: with dumpname Boot for C:, Apps
- for F: and General for G:, execute the following:-
-
- e.g. dump.ttp cfg Boot Apps General
-
- The '-a' option allows you to append to the end of an existing DUMP
- tape.
-
- NOTE: Be sure to have a tape in the drive that can handle the amount of data
- to be transferred to it. Currently DUMP.TTP does not check for End-of-Media
- and will not request another volume, so this will fail.
