Operating the Floppy Drive
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.
You need to set the write protect tab to the write position to transfer data to
the diskette. The write-protect tab can be in either position when restoring
data from a diskette or listing the files on a diskette.
