Like another poster said, 1440 1K blocks. On the other hand, that assumes you don't put a filesystem on it, which would take up some portion of the available space. > > Do you create the volumed tarball direct to floppy's or on the hard drive > first? Either. But you can send the tar right to the floppy, without creating a file system first. You just need to visualize the floppy disk as a short, flattened tape :). # tar -cvf /dev/fd0 /path/to/data
