  • Dont' understand how to use upgrade charactersmfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hdc | mfsresto

    I am a newbie, who doesn't know much about the syntax to use the Hinsdale upgrade instructions to upgrade my series 2 drive. I am trying to type:
    mfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hdc | mfsrestore -r 4 -s 127 -xzpi - /dev/hda

    using mfs boot tools. My problem is that I can't type the vertical line character (not present on my keyboard). Also I am not sure if there is a space after the "-r" and "-s". Please help a newbie!

    No space after those two dashes.

    The pipe character is usually shift-backslash.
    Been here a long time . . .

      Thanks for fast reply. Now I get an error message:
      mfsrestore: invalid option --1
      Usage: mfsrestore [options] Adrive [Bdrive]
      then a list of some options:
      -h
      -i file
      -p
      -x
      -Xscale
      -q
      -qq
      -vsizw
      -ssize
      -l
      -B
      -b
      -z
      Scanning source drive
      Source drive is 57 hours
      Uncompressed backup size 55203 megabytes
      /#_

      Then it just sits with blinking cursor. What do I do next?
