I have a ES40 Alphaserver an a TL891 Minilibrary with DLT 35-70 tapes with a
SAP R/3 4.6C installation.
I would use the dd command to backup some files on my system.
I don't well understand the difference between bs and ibs or obs parameters,
and i didn't find any information about the better values for these
parameters.
I seem the dd command is very faster than the cpio command, but i don't know
if there are some problem in use it!
For example, can i seek just for a file and restore it if i backed up with
the dd command?
Can anyone help me?
Bye,
Emilio
