Hi there:
would anyone know how to use tar to backup a number of large files (> 1.44
mb) as
multiple volumes on floppies?
tar cvf /dev/fd0c file
writes everything on the floppy and never prompts you to put another one in
the drive.
Apparently, a parameter S should take care of that but you need to know the
density
of the floppy (which I don't).
thanks a lot
