I've been trying this on a running system, perhaps that's why tar
doesn't work. I guess I could try the restore after booting from a
floppy disk instead when using an old world macintosh.
However, I'd like to avoid a boot-disk dependent method because the G4
I will eventually use does not have a floppy drive. Would there be a
way to boot from the install CD and then mount & restore the HD? I
Sure. There's no difference between floppy and cd in that regard, as
long as you can make a bootable cd. And from what I understand of
macintoshes that's no problem. I have prep and pop ppc's, so have mixed
feelings towards cd's ;-).Where do you store the backups? (do you need
anything special to get it to work, like
nfs/smb/appletalk/hfs/vfat/whatever?).
Anyway, I'm sure the good people here will be able to help you set
things up in a nice working environment :-)
