Hello, I have got two directories say /test1 and /test2
I want to take backup of these two directories on a tape drive so I use : tar -cvpPf /dev/st0 /test1/ /test2/ This tape say has got lot of empty space.. So I am trying to append to the same tape the same directories tar -rvpPf /dev/st0 /test1/ /test2/ What is the best way to take backups of two different days of the same directories on the same tape using tar and in future say if I want to restore the appended data than will than be possible with tar... or I have to rename the mount points before appending to the same tape ? Thanks in advance... Best regards, Shriram Fowkar [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-12-22 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
