Hi,
    I am trying to backup the 105Mb hard disk to floppies, but I have
some problem restoring the files. Following Mr. Lawrence Clarke's
advice, I format 90 1.44Mb diskettes, log in as single user, then
issue the dump command:

> dump 0uOf 0.82 /dev/rfd0a /dev/rsd0a

where 0.86 in the original post doesn't work. And 0.82 is the
highest value which will cause the smallest number of diskettes used
in the dump process.

Anyway, after dumping all the files to the diskettes, I want to
restore some files to make sure that it is a two-way process with no
avail. I have used:
> restore jif /dev/rfd0a
and
> restore if /dev/rfd0a
as suggested in Mr. Lawrence Clarke's post.

Has anyone done this? And how does people own 2.0 Extended release
restore the files to the hard disk?
