[comp.sys.sgi] Backup Method for Restore

richr@ai.etl.army.mil (Richard Rosenthal) (11/30/89)

On a IRIS 4D/80-GT:

What is the best way to backup a disk with two partitions
so that I can restore the disk to its exact state
should the disk become erased?

Scenario:

- I install system 3.2
- User's tasks break
- The boss demands a return to the privious state of affairs,
  for now
- I now have to undo the system installation and return
  to previous state

How will I do this and what kind of tapes should I have to
make it real easy to do?
