newbies - i am trying to backup to floppys. from experimentation and reading documentation, i have discovered that tar cvzMf ... ... will not work because the compression over multiple volumes is not allowed. snooping around i found a utility for KDE called kArchiveur. The website says: "kArchiveur is a little utility for Linux & KDE. Its goal is to make your work with all compressed files easy. With kArchiveur, you can create tar.gz, tar.bz2, .zip . . . files just by dropping them on this software! Of course, you can add files, remove, or view one or more files thanks to its multiselection window. You can also convert files between .tar.gz and .tar.bz2. Another feature is an automatic splitter/unsplitter to make a file going into a floppy. kArchiveur has been made to be intuitive and powerful!" This sounds like what I need to work with. Does anyone have any experience with this utility? dave
