I'm not sure if I understand what you are saying. With dump, you give a name of a filesystem and it backs up all files within that FS. If you system contains more than 1 file system, you must issue multiple dump commands, one for each FS. If you want to backup all of the file systems on one tape, use the tape device that begins with "n". This way the tape driver will not rewind at tape after dump closes the tape device.
