Hi!

I have read many nice things about btcreate, and would like to use it to
create a recovery volume for my system (GS1280, 5.1B pk 3). The problem is,
I don't have a tape drive on my system. But I do have a RAID box, plus some
empty disks slots. Thus my question:

   Is it possible to create a backup volume on a SCSI disks using btcreate?
   If so, how?

If I cannot use btcreate without a tape drive, I would appreciate pointers to
other ways of creating a recovery volume.

Best,
Hans
