Backup & Misc

[Jerry LeVan]

Good Evening Netters,

Still can't get tar to create a multitape backup of a filesystem,
tcb always croaks on the first write.

Is the following possible?
  use dump.bsd to /dev/rmt/tc to copy a sysv file system.
  reformat the disk to a ufs.
  use restore to recover the files from the tape (without
  remaking the partition back into a sysv filesystem.
Is tcb usable/needed/recommended for use with dump.bsd?

Jerry
