kdat unreliable"
From: "Darren R. Weber"
Maybe it's jus me, but I have a dat drive and I'm trying to make regular backups of my system. I thought it would be nice to use kdat because of the interface but it seems to be very unreliable. It apears to use tar to do the backup, but when I do a restore test on single files I can't seem to extract them using tar. Am I the only one with this problem? I have a shel script written by a friend that does great backups and I'm thinking of rewriting it and using it. Is it needed? Is kdat as bad as I think it is or am I doing something wrong?
I too have also noticed the unreliability of Kdat.. I could make good backups, but when i attempted to restore them with Kdat they would not work, instead they would restore files that were not related to the archive i was working on. I belive that the version i was using may have had a bug in it's multi archive system. I stoped using it and just use TAR and rsh now :) Cya Matthew Matthew King: Sys Admin, Quakers Hill High School.
