Lines: 21 I have borrowed an 8mm Exabyte with which to do a backup of my system. question is, it looks like "backup" only does one filesystem at a time, and every time backup runs, it will overwrite the tape. I want to backup all data in rootvg, which has several file systems. seeing as this is a short-term opportunity to get a complete system backup, I'd like to get an exact bit-for-bit copy. from the documentation ;) I understand that backup is better than tar for this situation. so, could anyone tell me how to get a full system backup on one tape?
