Please, my ancient, but reliable, backup script is essentially:
find /my_dir | cpio -ov > /dev/st0 But, (now that I have installed all those lovely debian goodies), the wretched tape is filling up and asking for another. (I erase the tape beforehand.) I really want to fit all my current data, or certainly selected dirs unto one tape. Surely I should be able to compress the files before they are sent to the tape. I suspect it can be done with gzip, but I am not sure of the syntax. Obviously I need to get it right. I also need to know how to restore. (I have amanda on the back burner!)
