I have everything setup just right, Webmail, DNS, IMAP, Webserver, etc.... I just install a DDS-2 tape drive, I have been reading about using dump for backing up filesystems. How can I use dump to backup the entire drive? If I try using: dump 0 -A ad0 it fails.. do I have to run dump on each slice? I plan on setting up a chron job that runs every night to do a incremental backup, then a full backup at the end of the week.
