tar: How do I backup everything !!
Hi,
I'm trying to backup my entire Redhat 9 system to my other hard drive so that I can re-partition the linux one. I've tried ... Code:
tar cvf /mnt/winc/backup.tar -exclude ./mnt / /mnt/winc is a 15 GB vfat partition. Help !! |
VFAT can't handle files bigger than 2GB
That was a bit curt :} Cosider using something like: http://www.mondorescue.org/about/about.html which will allow for multi-volumes. Cheers, Tink |
Hey Tinkster,
Thanks for the link !! Mondo looks like it should do the trick. Just one question ... Does it require the original partitioning scheme/sizes on a restore ? That would defeat my purpose. Thanks, Grant. |

You have the choice... look in the on-line manual, chapter 9.2.2... Cheers, Tink |
