Are there programs available for PS/2 AIX that properly backup and restore devices to tape? I.e. has anyone ported afio or something equally capable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance... James

They handle devices, well except for the one case of the unix domain socket, /dev/log, and that doesn't matter. As far as afio, what's to "port"?? I just compiled it and used it on the PS/2, although I never did get it working properly on the 370. Disclaimer: I don't speak for the company. -- Jack F.

I ported afio if anyone is interested and it does handle device files.

Backup and restore handle device files properly. What is the best way to duplicate an entire system, minidisks and all?
