I have SCO XENIX 286 2.2 up on an AT-clone. I have extensively
customized the configuration files, have lots of new directories,
device drivers and data on the system. I need to archive EVERYTHING so
I can use the hard disk for MSDOS for a few months. After that time, I
want to be able to restore EXACTLY what the drive has on it now.
I figure that when I go back to XENIX I'll have to reinstall stock
XENIX from the original disks, then restore from the backup floppies I
will make. Should I use dump, tar, or cpio? Please provide me with an
appropriate command line (including options). I'll be backing up onto
1.2M floppies.
Thanks!!!
