- We've had some problems making tape backups of our NeXT server and
- user directories using 'dump' and 'restore' (under 3.0)... Essentially,
- 'restore' seems unable to read data 'dump'ed to tape, although it *can*
- read data 'dump'ed to disk... 'tar' seems to work all right (but, of course,
- you can't do an incremental 'tar'...). Has anyone else run into this problem?
- Any suggestions?
-
- Also: Does anyone have any recommendations on a good DAT drive for use
- with the NeXT, or good tape drives in general?
-
- Thanks...
