[comp.os.minix] 1.3: Backing up hard disk

anderson@vms.macc.wisc.edu (Jess Anderson) (01/08/90)

Under 1.3:

I now have two half-full partitions of hard disk,
one to mount as /usr for vanilla 1.3 uses, the other
with all the 1.5.0 stuff, to mount as /usr when I
want to work with that.

Because I'm having some disk problems and because
the labor of building up the second of these partitions
was so immense, I am now living in terror of not being
backed up.

My first thought was to get 1.5.0 backup going, but as
I'm not very knowledgeable and my 1.5.0 library is not
yet updated, I expect that's not going to work, right?

Failing that, and floppies (1.2mb) being cheap, what's
the most *practical* way to proceed?
