Please try to use the correct terminology (yes, I know, I'm picky
about that): FreeBSD has directories, not "folders". I assume you
don't call files "sheets of paper". :-)

You don't need to create a file - dump will do that.

Doesn't look that way. "write error 4194320 blocks into volume 1"
seems to indicate that the file counldn't successfully be written.
and the retry request suggests that something went wrong.

I guessed right. :-) Make sure you can acutally write a 6.5 GB
file on it. FAT usually has problems with big files.
