Hello, I used to have an ide VXA 1i tape backup on Win, but apparently it won't work on Linux... Since that i decide to buy a DVD burner and burn 3cds intead of a tape. For example I do the backup of a folder around 11Go with tar and bz2 but every time my archive is corrupted... Do you have any clue of what is happening ? Does my command is incorrect, i m running the Fedora FC4. My command is below tar -civf /media/administration.tar.bz2 /home/administration/ Thanks for your help Franck
