I have at work an old Dell computer that runs a process machine (I work in maintenance). The computer is running a program in a QNX operating system. From what I can tell, QNX is an off-shoot of UNIX operating system.
To make a long story short, after 20 years of use, the engineers what a backup of this computers hard drive. I know nothing about UNIX or QNX, and need to find out if or what commands are available to back this system up. Can a file copy be done? Can Norton Ghost be used? Does QNX use a fat16 format?
I know this is digging deep in the past for an old 386 from like 1981 or somewhere around that date. It's funny this old Dell is still going after running close to 24-7 of run time. If this program or computer go down, this machine will be down with a PLC upgrade, but then again production can not have that or so the boss said.
Any help or links to help on backing up files to another hard drive with QNX will be appreciated,
Thank you.
