I'm trying to do a full backup of the entire filesystem using: dump -0 -a -f /dev/nrsa0 -n -u / It's working, but not how I'm wanting it to. If I use the same command except have it to backup the /mnt. It backups all subfolders, files, etc within /mnt. Why wouldn't this work with /? --Todd _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
