(Re: Floppies (backup) - different format?)
Line 4: Line 4:


So I have a lot of floppies which are labeled "backup" and are in sets (1 - n), but they are not normal ND filesystem floppies, and not backup-system volume format. Any idea what kind of format they are, and where it might be documented? Unfortunately, I don't know which tool was used to make the backup.

Nice! It's good to see this documented. I wrote a Unix tool to read backup-system format CCTs back in 1998, specifically for IRIX on an SGI system I used for reading my old ND backup CCTs. I'll read through the description to see if it all matches what I did, or not.. a quick check looks very familiar. Thanks for adding the page. -- TArntsen (talk) 11:09, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Floppies (backup) - different format?

So I have a lot of floppies which are labeled "backup" and are in sets (1 - n), but they are not normal ND filesystem floppies, and not backup-system volume format. Any idea what kind of format they are, and where it might be documented? Unfortunately, I don't know which tool was used to make the backup. Torfinn (talk) 11:42, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
