- I have heard that tar might be able to store its output across volumes.
-
- In my case I'm looking for a way to archive an entire partition to
- a floppy device. This floppy will obviously fill up long before the
- tar is done. Is there a way to get tar to continue on the next installed
- floppy volume. It seems there would be a bit of a problem with sync.
-
- Assistance would be appreciated.
