A nasty rumor is being spread that the WBAK command is unreliable for
full backup of a node using the following command.
wbak -f 1 //node_1234. I have used this command for 8 years and had no
problem. I was recently told, however, that this has never worked reliably
since the beginning of the Apollo Aegis OS existence.

I was told, however that the following command would work reliably.
wbak -f 1 //node_1234/... for a full node backup.

Is there any Apollo expert out there who can verify this statement and 
relieve of me the uncertainty, that 8 years of archiving are unreliable?

Thanks
