Hi Suresh,
We infact wanted to backup entire hard disk. If we use tar than it creates problems
for /proc since we are backing from /. We have copied lot of stuff from SCO to make
the Basic and Cobol compiler work.
Now we have decided to back up using tar everything except /dev /boot and /proc.
The final system is not yet in place. Lot of experimentation, testing going on. Backup
stuff tomorrow.
Thanks
Rajesh
