Summary: Is it possible to make complete backups without booting single user? Message-ID: <1990Dec10.142209.17628@DMI.USherb.CA> Date: 10 Dec 90 14:22:09 GMT Organization: Universite de Sherbrooke, Quebec Lines: 12 We are using the dump program with SunOS 4.1 to do all our backups. Once a month we are making a complete backup and the manual suggest that with boot single user. We are planning to buy an Exabyte and we want to be able to make the backup by night without any operator. Could it be done? If not is there another backup program I could use? -- Luc Bussieres ---- Analyste - Dep. de Mathematiques et Informatique Universite de Sherbrooke Internet : bussiere@dmi.usherb.ca Tel: (819) 821-7981
