Sure, but you have to use tar. >Couldnt seem to find an answer to this on the site or in the FAQ, > and all the examples only seem to refer to partitions. Most times the whole partition is the target, unless its bigger than a tape, in which case you break the disklist down into usable hunks of data by specing not the root of the partition, but a series of its subdirs that will each fit a tape. I do that with a 36 gig /usr on 4 gig tapes here. -- Cheers Dale, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.13% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly
