I have sampled DiskFit for backups with floppies. We have installed
a bridge to our ethernet, and I have a question.
Does DiskFit work with AppleShare Devices?
Can a do a {daily, weekly, monthly} backup with DiskFit
onto my NFS file system (where it will get backed up again)?
If DiskFit won't do this, is there something that will?cy@dbase.UUCP (Cy Shuster) (08/08/89)
A problem we had with backing up from Macs to NFS over the Gator is the inherent incompatability of Mac filenames with NFS: forward slashes (as in "Read Me 8/7/89"), characters > ASCII 128, and so on. Note this was not using DiskFit, but in native format. If DiskFit can lump all the files into a single output filename (like HFS Backup), this is not a problem. --Cy--
