Message-ID: <644@mjbtn.JOBSOFT.COM> Date: 27 Jul 90 00:42:35 GMT Organization: JobSoft Design & Development, Murfreesboro, TN Lines: 28 Hello, Does anyone know if there is a PD version of cpio (like afio) that supports remote devices over ethernet like the new GNU Tar does (ie, remotename:/dev/erct0). SCO Unix's cpio has a -O option that supports output direct to a device instead of to stdout. My interest here is that I want to be able to backup my SCO Unix system over the ethernet between it and my other unix box using something like cpio that will allow me to span volumes. If that can already be done with existing cpio and rcmd constructs, I would love to hear about them. Also, I have heard about a product called ctar which is a i386 tar implementation that supports compression. Anyone have any comments on this package? Thanks in advance. Mark. -- Mark J.
