Hi all, I am attempting to restore a root filesystem I donwloaded this morning. I downloaded it in binary mode, and when I try to=20 restore -rf /usbstick/root.dump I am getting: "Tape is not a dump tape" Should dumps be transfered in BINARY or ASCII mode? Any other insights welcome. Also, should I remove the .snap file in the pristine filesystem before = performing the restore? Also, The dump was done on a freebsd 7.2 R machine, and I am using the = FreeBSD 7.2 live filesystem CD to do the restores. -Grant
