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.
Don
