1. Use dump.
2. If dump will accept the -a option, use it; otherwise use the -B and -b
options to specify the tape size. Do _not_ use the -d and -s options.
FYI, the -a option tells dump to use the whole tape until it hits EOT.
The -B and b options specify # of records and the record size.
A sample script follows. It actually dumps to a remote host, but remove
the `r' and the hostname and you get the idea.
rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /
rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /var
rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /usr
rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 resnet2.uoregon.edu:/dev/rst0 /usr1
In all cases, see the dump(8) man page before beginning!
