- I use mint + minix on my harddisk. I wonder what good method there is
- to make backups of my disk. The regular TOS programs won't work
- because they cannot handle longer filenames and links etc.
-
- I would use simply gnutar to /dev/ps0, and with incremental tar's this
- would be feasible were it not that I produce multivolume tar's in that
- case. I do not like this idea because to restore something on say the
- 5th diskette I must read all previous ones than, with the risk that if
- somewhere on one of the backups is wrong the rest of the backup is
- unusable.
-
- Does anyone have better ideas/programs to do this job? Thanks,
