Lets say my passwd or inittab file or something gets clobbered so that
my system won't come up multiuser.
How do I bring up Xenix 2.2.1 in some sort of stand alone or single user
mode so that I can do things like:
o mount file systems.
o look around.
o edit files.
o cpio or tar stuff in.
In this mode will I still be able to use my 9 track cartrige tape drive
to restore things?
which works better for getting specific stuff off (e.g. /u/osas/data/* or
/usr/bin/???), cpio or tar)? I had some trouble doing this with tar
but it may have been attributed to some other tape trouble that I was
haveing at the time. I would think that you could do this with either.
Which is better to use for daily backup/restore functions (cpio or tar)?
Thanks.
