Well, what I mean is that a compressed tar is not reliable as a backup procedure. I don't know what is reliable in Linux, but tar isn't. It is much less reliable than, for example, the old pctools backup from central point software was twenty years ago. I still have backups in 360 KB floppies that work... it had compression and low level error recovery codes. Not portable, of course. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
