Message-ID: Date: 4 Feb 91 17:26:46 GMT Sender: news@doc.ic.ac.uk Distribution: comp Organization: Dept of Computing, Imperial College, London, England Lines: 16 How can I backup my SVR4 system to a tape on a Sun? There did not seem to be a dump host:dev type command. The only thing that I could think of was to mount an RFS partition from another machine with a tape drive, but my Sun only has nfs! Is there anyway around this? Maybe I should use gnu tar.
