Re: Tape restore porblem > You know....I started using HPFS....I thought WOW! No more defraging, faster > access...etc. Then I found out you only get about a 4% increase in disk > performance, it takes 200K of memory to use, and it's not compatible with a > lot of disk utilities. I run FAT with OS/2. That way I can use CP Backup, > Stacker for OS/2, etc. I'm also using FAT with OS/2... to use HPFS, I'd have to repartition my hard drive and backup and restore everything. Sounds like too much work. I defrag once a week, booting to MS-DOS from a floppy. While defragging files is VERY fast and moves virtually nothing, defragging with full optimization takes forever... like 45 minutes. It used to take 20. I haven't really come to any conclusions on why this is; I guess OS/2 just writes to the HD a lot. Does CP Backup have support for tape drives? I have a Colorado Jumbo 250 but I can't get the DOS or WINDOWS version of the software to work through OS/2 at all; again I have to boot to MS-DOS via floppy. Anyone have any ideas on this? |
