Shame on myself for not getting to this before your PR was submitted, but I'll be evaluating this soon. Again, unless someone beats ME to it ;) -- Tom Rhodes Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->trhodes Setting my sights on this. State Changed From-To: open->closed Complete! The sections have been renamed (only a couple) and I've put them in a more logical order. |
The Handbook chapter on Storage has four sections pertaining to backups: 12.9 Tape Backup Media 12.10 Backup Programs 12.11 Floppy disks 12.12 Backups to Floppies "Floppy disks" should be earlier in the chapter, and probably called something like "Creating and Using Floppy Disks" (in keeping with the optical media section). "Tape Backup Media" should probably be called "Creating and Using Tapes". "Backups to Floppies" should die a horrible death, but that's probably slightly premature. It should be merged in to the "Backup Programs" section. "Backup Programs" is misnamed, as it also contains information about backup strategies, and things to do (creating boot floppies, etc) that aren't strictly about "Backup Programs". This might make sense as its own, small, chapter, that can refer to information in the "Storage" chapter as necessary. pertain to Fix: At some point I'll get around to fixing this, unless someone beats me to the punch.
