man floppyrestore (Commandes) - floppyrestore - Read data from floppies created with floppybackup and output it to stdout.
NAME
floppyrestore - Read data from floppies created with floppybackup and output it to stdout.
SYNOPSIS
floppyrestore [device]
DESCRIPTION
floppyrestore reads data from floppies on given device. If no device is given, "/dev/fd0" is assumed. The data is outputted to stdout, and new floppies are requested when needed.
A header is first read from beginning of each floppy, to get information about archive name, disk number, whether or not the disk in question is last one in archive, and how many bytes of input are stored on disk.
floppyrestore refuses to accept disks that either have different archive name than the first disk, or disks with unexpected disk number. You must give the archive disks in order 1,2,3,4... and so on.
floppyrestore can mix floppies of different sizes to create an archive. You may use 720K, 360K, 1440K, 1992K or whatever floppy sizes your machine autodetects.
