Hi All, When I want to perform a full system backup to tape, Do I need to backup /sys/* as well ??? I notice that my DLT is quite slow when performing the backup of the /sys/* files. I get these kind of messages : cpio: File ./sys/class/scsi_host/host0/host_busy shrunk by 4094 bytes, padding with zeros ./sys/class/scsi_host/host0/host_busy cpio: File ./sys/class/scsi_host/host0/unique_id shrunk by 4094 bytes, padding with zeros I suspect that these files are all created when booting the system which means that they do not need to be backed-up Am I suspecting right or wrong ? Cheers Edwin
