Welcome back Paul.  Hope you enjoyed yourself.  Sorry about your PC problems. 
Wish I could help.

You advice worked.  I am using tar to backup because I cannot get taper (taper
-T z : menus appear but cannot find device)  or kdat (cannot find device) to
work for me!


> Just do this:
> tar cvf /dev/ht0 -X <skipfile> /

> In <skipfile> (which is a name you choose) you write the directories you
> don't want backed up. E.g., I put /home/paul/.netscape/cache in there,
> since I don't feel that is so important to back up.
