Sort of. They are installation boot floppies. But, they are not a full rescue system as far as I know. > What media should I backup to? Tape using dump? If you have that. Alternatively, if you have a spare disk that is big enough and not used for anything else, you could use dump to back up to that. But, tape is still quite common - maybe most common. > > With these two floppies and the backup ought I be able to restore my > system? Yes. But, it is a bit more complicated than that. You would build enough of the system by doing an install with them and then restoring the dump over it, using it. I don't know if there is any rescue floppy now. ////jerry > > Cheers Ged. > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
