I would greatly appreciate any help. dump 0ufa /dev/nrst0 /dev/filesystem You may need to use the b option to specify a blocksize so your tape drive streams. See dump(8) for full details. /dev/nrst0 specifies to not rewind the tape after dumping, this way you can dump filesystems end-to-end. See st(4) for details on the various open modes for the SCSI tape device.
