I backed up a large partition with:
dump -B 665902 -0uf ${BASE}.1,${BASE}.2,${BASE}.3,${BASE}.4,${BASE}.5 /data
Now, how do I restore it?
restore's "-f" doesn't take a file list like dump's, and when I "restore
-t" pointing it at the first file, it doesn't seem to care whether files 2,
3, ... are even there. It also doesn't like it if I point it to one of
the volumes besides .1 (the first).
Should I just cat all these volume files together and pipe that into
restore? There must be a trick but I don't find it documented.
TIA for any advice,
Randall
