[net.lang.c] Flavors of Unix Backup

SYSBDES%TCSVM.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU (Dan Smith) (05/05/86)

    I'm a new guy on the block as far as Sys V (actually Unix v6 was my last
major unix playground)  And I am working on a Sys V system now.  Has anyone
make a dump/restor equiv' system for backup or is cpio good enough for
incremental type backups OR (final or) do i need to start writting some
sh script to check mod times and just use cpio???  Any help would be nice!

Hopefully you will be able to find a source of backup/restore, since cpio
saves have some limitations (as does tar).
