Hi,

Just need confirmation and possibly input if I have missed something..

I am backing up my data on my Linux system to a DAT tape drive using tar..

The command I have used is "tar --totals -cvf /dev/st0 /home"..

Is this correct? and will it restore the correct permissions of the files if I restore from this backup?

Thanks..
