- I keep reading how you can't back up OS/2 with a DOS back up program
- because the EA's won't get backed up. Does this include FAT as well? If
- so, why? The EAs are just kept in a seperate file aren't they which will
- get backed up in a normal backup stream.
-
- I just mounted an OS/2 system's drive to a Unix machine and backed up via
- tar. I'm hoping if the drive ever needs restoring that I just boot with
- the boot disk I made with SEBOOT, run SEBOOT again to get a proper boot
- track on the hard disk, fire up NFS and restore. Oh yeah...In case anyone
- else is wondering, it is possible to put a minimal boot on a 1.44 floppy
- and enough of TCP & NFS to mount the drive on Unix for restores.
