It works really well, with a single caveat: the date of the backup just does no get properly recorded, rendering partials (differentials or incrementals) a null issue. However, for FULL backups, this puppy works really great! we use the following command: dump -0auf /dev/wt0 Please feel free to write off-list if there is anything we can help with! J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org ---------- From: Robert Sent: Monday, May 11, 1998 3:15 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: how about dump?? does anyone use dump and restore for backups?? any rules of thumb for using it. I guess I would always want to do full backups of all filesystems. (this is just a web and mail server) what are the recommended options etc?? I seem to be having a hard time finding examples in any man pages or faqs. thanks in advance Robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
