Hi folks, In Utrecht, the Faculty of Arts, we have about 16 Unix/Ultrix systems, some with local date-disks, connected in a NFS configuration. On one system (a DECstation 3100) we (will) have a exabyte 8mm 2.3 Gbyte tape subsystem for dumping data. Please, without starting a new tar <--> cpio <--> dump war, I have two questions: - What is the "best" way to perform a complete and/or a incremental dump of the disk's connected in the NFS network to the tape subsystem. (all on one tape!) - I like to have a procedure (shell script in crontab) for performing a daily incremental backup and weekly a complete backup to the tape-subsystem. does such a procedure exist, and can someone send it to me. Thanks in advance, Henny ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: henny@hutruu52 EARN/BITnet ! Disclaimer: ruulif::henny SURFnet !
