You may have misunderstood what I meant. I didn't mean "people don't use tar or cpio when backing up to tape". I meant "people mostly use tar and cpio for tasks other than backing up to tape". This is self-evident given the huge number of tarballs (and some cpio sets) available for download, which have nothing to do with tape backup. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
