Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I was wondering if dump recurses filesystems, for example. I have the following filesystems on main server: / /var /tmp /usr /usr/home All have the various dump/pass options set via fstab, now when I run dump, and it goes to backup /, will it recurse into /var and so on, thus giving me duplicate backups and blowing space?
