1. By doing a dump of / you risk lossing valuable data. Escpecially if you
have a busy server. It's not possible to take a snap shot other than using
the fix it CD?

2. When I use the fix it CD I can't unmount certain devices? For example the
/tmp directory with nothing in it? I was able to unmount my /backup IDE
drive. What's the difference between the two?

3. If I destroy my / directory. How can I mount my other partitions from the
fixit CD? I can only mount my / slice by using the command "mount /dev/ad0s0
/mnt"

I read the hand book and have a text book but if someone has a resource
using the Fixit program and Mounting devices that would be great.

Thanks in Advance.
