One is used as a backup and is identical to the main disk. This is accomplished via dump/restore. When I try to do an incremental (or even full dump/restore) I get a message stating that the file exists and it moves on. In other words, I have to delete everything from the 2nd disk and dump/restore the entire file system again. The Obvious Question: Is there a way I can simply do an incremental dump/restore and have it overwrite existing files on the 2nd drive? This would save a ton of time and money.... The other solution would be to buy another drive and alternate dump/restore between drives. Any ideas appreciated. Tim W. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
