Transferring Data To and From a Floppy Diskette This section describes how to transfer data to and from your ﬂoppy diskette (saving and restoring) using the HP-UX tar command with your ﬂoppy drive’s device ﬁle. The tar (tape ﬁle archiver) command saves ﬁles to a ﬂoppy diskette, restores ﬁles from a ﬂoppy diskette, or lists ﬁles on a ﬂoppy diskette.
Page 103: Restoring Files From A Floppy Diskette To Your System
5 Enter the following command line to write to the diskette: tar -cvf /dev/rfloppy/c20Ad1s0 pathname where pathname is the pathname of the ﬁle or directory containing ﬁles that you want to write to the diskette. Restoring Files from a Floppy Diskette to Your System Use the following instructions to restore ﬁles from a ﬂoppy diskette to your system: 1 Load the ﬂoppy diskette into the disk drive.
