I'm trying to create a multiple volume backup onto floppy discs.
Using konsole, when in root I change to the directory that contains the
files I want to archive (I'd read you had to run tar from the directory
where the files are). I then type in the following command:
tar -cMv /dev/fd0 /home/user/[location of files]
Konsole then shows multiple screens of scrolling gibberish and nothing
happens (i.e. the floppy drive isn't accessed) and no archive is
created.
I've tried the same command with the floppy mounted and unmounted with
the same result.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is there another way/program
to create multiple floppy archives?
Any help would be appreciated.
John
