What is the syntax used for your dump and restore commands Michael? from
looking at the restore man page there is a -u option:
-u When creating certain types of files, restore may generate a
warning diagnostic if they already exist in the target directory.
To prevent this, the -u (unlink) flag causes restore to remove
old entries before attempting to create new ones.
And also:
-r Restore (rebuild a file system). The target file system should
be made pristine with newfs(8), mounted and the user cd'd into
the pristine file system before starting the restoration of the
initial level 0 backup. If the level 0 restores successfully,
the -r flag may be used to restore any necessary incremental
backups on top of the level 0. The -r flag precludes an interac-
tive file extraction and can be detrimental to one's health if
not used carefully (not to mention the disk).
I do not know if this is the answer to your problem, but hope this may help.
Also setting kern_securelevel_enable="NO" in your /etc/rc.conf and rebooting
should help determine if secure level is a problem.
