- I'd like to ask a small question about executor under Linux:
-
- I love executor and I have installed on an ext2fs partition.
- However, the usual backup programs one would use under Linux
- complain about that partition (Mac programs tend to put spaces and other
- strange characters in file names). GNU tar complains about Long links
- and skips files and cpio simply doesn't like some file names and skips
- some files too.
-
- I have come to have a lot of Mac software installed on that
- Linux box and I would surely like to be able to make a reliable backup
- of my Macintosh partition. Does anyone have any idea? I am currently
- thinking about devoting one of my MOD cartridges to executor, put an
- ext2fs filesystem on it and use "cp -R" but I don't like the idea.
- How do you ARDI do it? :)
