I agree. There are only two minor problems which hit me:
Copying the auto-folder results in (sort of) garbage. The files each
for itself ar OK, sure, but they're resorted afterwards.
Well, I used tar and compress and all went fine. ;-)
(Zoo and arc did no good. Either I invoke them for each file again, then
they're sorted in when copying the rest of the archive around. If I do
"zoo -a archive *" from within gulam, they're sorted. If I do "zoo -a
archiv '*'", zoo sorts the filenames itself. Arc reacted this way, too.
What also worked was using the MT C-Shell and doing "ls -u1 | zoo aI archive"
thus listing the contents of auto without sorting and each entry on its
own line and piping these into zoo, reading filenames from stdin.)
The other one: empty directories aren't backup'ed and therefore aren't
copied back. I do have some directories which are essential, though empty
most of the time (you know things like /usr/spool/uucp, don't you? ;-)
Well, I did a "du c d e f g > dirlist" and manually edited the logfile
to a gulam-script to mkdir all missing directories.
