Date: Fri, 28 Jun 1996 13:39:06 -0700 Organization: University of California, Davis Lines: 8 Message-ID: <31D442EA.167EB0E7@halfdome.engr.ucdavis.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: maegrad07.engr.ucdavis.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02 (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) Sorry about this, but my mind is fried and I can't remember where any of this information is kept. I want to back up my system. I have an iomega DITTO 420 tape drive (uses formatted QIC 80 tapes) that is daisy chained in with my 2 floppys. The system sees the device on bootup (I think it is ft0). Now what I want to do is make a boot floppy with a kernel that will be able to see at least my hard drives and the tape device, and a backup of my entire system (so that if it crashes, I can restore everything). If anyone could spare the time to help, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks a million.
