Re: [SLE] Backup To CD.

tar  --create -f=/dev/sda1 upload.tar upload tar: =/dev/sda1: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Single dash options do not take a = Oh BTW you would overwrite sda1, which is probably not what you want.

Should I rather just detemine the mount point and copy it to that directory. The thing is I want a program to do the backup automatically without user interface so I want to make sure the backup is successful that's why I think tar would write to the device directly. What do you think.
