Charles, You could use one of the PD archivers like GNUTar to create a single file, but if the backup of all 4 partitions will fit on a single Bernoulli, why not do a simple COPY command onto 4 directories on the Bernoulli? For example, let's say you had partitions called Work: NoWork: Fun: and Boot: Let's call the Bernoulli Bert: I'd do the following: mkdir bert:Work mkdir bert:nowork mkdir bert:fun mkdir bert:boot assign b1: bert:work assign b2: bert:nowork assign b3: bert:fun assign b4: bert:boot copy work: b1: all copy nowork: b2: all copy fun: b3: all copy boot: b4: all Either that…or I misunderstand what it is you wanted.
