Hi,
I have an old 1/4" streamer 250 Mb and want to use it on a RH5.2 machine
using dump
Can someone provide me the correct parameters to use dump with such a
tape ?
Thanks,
Feite Brekeveld

The ln03 driver is distributed with the gs sources. If you can't find
a prebuilt Ghostscript with the ln03 driver, just built gs yourself.

Could you elaborate (please)?

Hello,
Keep in mind, the main thing to concentrate on is your own unreplaceable data.
Application and system files can be replaced.
With that said, I do something similar to this using an extra instance of NT.
When I want to back up my NT OS files, I boot into my backup instance. Then, I
save my NT system directory and my root directory to tape.
Restoration after a disk disaster works seemlessly if the new drive is identical
to the old one. Install a new instance of the backup OS. Then, restore the NT
system directory and the root directory from tape.
However, if the disk is differently sized, games must be played to get NT to
accept new hardware registry settings and old application registry settings. The
procedure is listed in the MS knowledge base under "disaster recovery" or
something like that.
There are two caveats: this doesn't always work and MS doesn't support this
procedure. The first time I tried this it worked--the last time, it didn't
work. I may have not had partitions set up properly. On the other hand, there
may have been problems with the file permissions. I should have tried resetting
file permissions to "Everybody - Full" in the newly restored system directory.
If you're not messing with file permissions, you may have better luck than I did.
If someone lands on a better process that MS' procedure, please forward it to me.
