Hi! At the moment I´m cycling through a few tapes doing backups every week or so with tar cvz --exclude /proc --exclude /dev --exclude /tmp / >/dev/st0
Are there any precautions I should take that I have forgotten/not yet heard about? I can do a recover to someplace (eg /tmp/recover) and get the files I need but is this considered good practice or am I missing something? Also, is there a possibility to find out (rather than trying through tar tv(Iz)) if a tape is tar.gz, tar.bz2 or plain tar? Thanks for any advice, &rw -- / Robert Waldner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Phone: +43 1 89933 0 Fax x533 \ \ KPNQwest/AT tech staff | Diefenbachg. 35 A-1150 Wien /
