hello,
tar problem
===========
i just encountered a problem with the tar command.
on my du4.0d i made a cold backup of an oracle database. when resoring the
data from tape i noticed that the suid and sgid were not stored to tape
and after the recovery i had to set them by hand again.
the online docu does not tell anything about suid or sgid bits.
my questions are:
1. is that a festure or a bur - is there a workaround
2. which other tools do have this feature/bug (cpio, dump, ...)
3. which tool for backing up oracle dbs do you prefer.
mt problem
==========
on du4.0d i tried to make store several tar archives to one tape. to do so
i made the first tar at the beginning of the tape then i wanted to
position the tape at the end of written data on tape. although i tried
several times i could not figure out how that is done and how one can
navigate through different files on tape
can anybody please explain and/or give an example?
thank you for your help
