I am running SCO Unix 3.2.0. I have abandoned doing unattended tar backups of my user's files in favor of cpio backups (which I hope will be kinder on my tape drive - it seems to hang often with tar). I was planning to use: find . -print | cpio -ocvB -K149000 > /dev/rct0 2> /usr/lbin/cpioback.log which will be started by crontab and which will produce a log of the backup that went on the night before. I can then peruse the log the next day and make sure everything went OK (or write a script to do that for me, daily). Do I have this backup script correct? Anything you would add? Any comments or suggestions would be welcome. -- Mark Citron mark@neurosci.usc.edu
