What You Should Know When Copying Files to Diskettes

• Copying files to a formatted diskette by using the tar -c command destroys any files that are already on the diskette.

• A diskette that contains a tar image is not mountable.

• If you need a multiple-volume interchange utility, use the cpio command. The tar command is only a single-volume utility.

For more information, see the tar(1)man page.
