If you want to do backups, linux has backup tools. dump and tar come to mind and there's syntax that will allow tar to write to and restore from multiple floppy disks. The thing is, tar was originally written to support tape drives. There's ar and cpio and zoo and zip as well, this is provided you're using something like red hat or one of the other major distributions. zip like tar can span multiple disks as well. There's probably some other neat scripts available too. Figuring out how to get tar working with a tape drive can be difficult. I haven't managed that yet so I can't help you there. lha is also available for linux and that also spans multiple disks and is freely available and functional in dr-dos afaik.
