nobody here do backups of their systems? strange?!
I backup and restore using those self-named tools on a variety of DLT and 4mm
DAT tape drives. 4mm DDS DAT kinda sucks, and they are super-sensitive to
being cleaned a lot.
i'm using DVD+RW discs. after doing dvd+rw-format for a first time, it
could be used directly (as /dev/acd1) for dump but blocksize must be 32
and -B 4590208 must be entered.
Did you have a more specific question...?
yes - i did before.
i have problems with restore. dump is about 60GB and 1.5 million files.
two problems when doing restore -rvf /device
1) after extracting all directory listing it starts to do "Make node..."
but after some of it done, it starts to take 100% CPU and work for about 1
hour on PII/400 before finishing it.
eventually it finishes, so it's not such a big problem
2) after restoring 7 volumes, at 8-th volume it tried to prepend ? to
every pathname extracted so it resulted in error unable to create.
doing ln -s \? . and restarting restore from 8-th volume worked and i was
able to finish things.
why restore failed? and how to dump without fear!
