newbie question on backups...

Post by K R » Tue, 30 Jan 2001 20:19:16



Hello
I have to move data across IBM, HP, SOLARIS and IRIX systems.
Can anyone suggest what command I should use for backups on
each platform so I can read them universally?

TIA

How about *sharing* the data with NFS ?

Otherwize, portable archives is what tar is made for, although
'pax' is even better (and included in IRIX).
