backups

[Gerard.Moloney at thomson.com]

Hi:
 
I am looking for the correct backup procedure for my pc.
 
kern.flp and mfsroot.flp: these two floppies I created on install as my
cdrom cannot install from the cds.
Are these in effect boot floppies should my system crash?
 
What media should I backup to? Tape using dump?
 
With these two floppies and the backup ought I be able to restore my
system?
 
Cheers Ged.
