In that case, I'd use "star" to write directly to the media, i.e. create an empty/unused primary partition on the drive (what'd be /dev/hd.X, 1 <= X <= 4, on Linux, and /dev/dsk/...p[1-4] on Solaris), and then do: cd /dir-to-backup-from; star cvf /dev/dsk/hde2 . on Linux, and cd /dir-to-restore-in; star xvf /dev/dsk/c...p2 on Solaris to extract it. That's capable of >4GB files, UNIX permissions, long filenames, ... - for a simple data transfer/copy, it's also much faster than FAT32.
