- Could some kind soul please tell me what parameters should
- be used to support an Archive 5580 floppy-based tape drive with tar ?
-
- Specially, I need to know what to put in /etc/default/tar. I also need to
- know how to issue the 'tape' command to format DC2120 tapes at maximum
- capacity (118megs I think). (I'm using the latest versions of everything)
-
- Any other tips (such as how to organise 'cron' to properly handle
- automated 'tar' backups) would be welcome!
-
- Replies by email.
