Any suggestions on how to accomplish this without big ugly hacks involving find and altering file dates and such ? I am just afraid to use tar, since /dev - like special files are involved, etc...and it has been made clear time and time again that dump is all that you can use... thanks! > >On Sat, Dec 29, 2001 at 01:12:42AM -0700, Joe Parks wrote: > > > > So that is as elegant as it gets - there is no built in functionality >for > > what I am describing (that is, it isn't designed to do that ?) > >No. dump(1) works on whole filesystems. >-- >"It's always funny until someone gets hurt.
