[comp.sys.atari.st] backup over rs323

tnphhbu@dutrun.UUCP (Hans Buurman) (10/07/88)

Somebody must have tried this before. I have a 1040 with 20 Mb HD.
It is connected over the RS323 to a larger SUN system, at 9600 baud.
I think with 9600 baud I can make a backup at night. (9600 baud, say
500 chars/second, so 30k/minute, 2M/hour). Now how do I do it ?

I can make an account on the SUN that has only kermit (or whatever)
instead of a shell, so it would be safe. If I had a script on the
atari that would pass all files to kermit, plus some directory
information, and another script to restore things....

Any good ideas ?

Thanks in advance,
