Hello, i used to backup my servs on old HP SureStore 4Gig tapes, it took almost 5h to fill-up whole tape, but it worked. until they took HP SureStore from me and left me with SGI-packaged Conner streamer, which i found broken too late.
Recently I realised that i need only about 600Megs to store compressed backups of my serv. That's great. except for - i don't how to do it. Problem is - create bootable CD, that contains all tools neccesery to repair broken system (mkfs, fdisk, vi, tar, gzip etc, etc) , and that contains data track with all backuped files ( as usr.tar.gz home.tar.gz root.tar.gz and all). this way I would hold fast way to restore my system - just put CD in, boot it, recreate filesystem structure and unpack all tars. then just run lilo and I've got running system in no-time. but - i ain't own 2.88Meg floppies and don't know how to create bootable cd which mounts as it's root sth more than floppy (1.44). any suggestions?
