Archiving Files to a Flexible Disk

4Data can be stored on ￿exible disk media in a v ariety of formats. The capacit y of these devices is generally too small to hold useful HP-UX ￿le systems. Instead, DOS or LIF ￿le systems are commonly used. Data can also be stored in an archive-utility format. For example, tar and cpio are commonly used to share data with other HP-UX systems.

See the man pages or HP-UX Reference references dosif (4) and lif (4) for detailed descriptions of the ￿le systems. F or information on tar and cpio, see tar(1) and cpio.

To save ￿les archivally to a ￿exible disk using tar, use a formatted disk and enter the following command line, where pathname is the directory where the ￿les reside:

tar -cvf /dev/rfloppy/c201d0s0 pathname

Retrieving Files from a Flexible Disk

To list ￿les stored in a tar archive on a ￿exible disk, without transferring them to your hard disk, use the follo wing command line:

tar -tvf /dev/rfloppy/c201d0s0

This lists all the ￿les on the ￿exible disk.

To transfer or restore ￿les from a ￿exible disk to y our hard disk driv e, do the following:

1.Load the source disk in to the ￿exible disk driv e.

2.Using cd, make sure you are in in directory y ou want the ￿les to reside in.
