FreeBSD installed with normal partitions/slices / /usr /var Second HD mounted as /backup goal: level 0 dump of primary drive to secondary drive weekly, level1(incremential) dumps to secondary drive nightly. Restore from secondary drive in case of primary failure. command: dump -0ua -f /backup/backupfile / results: 32mb backup file (aroo?) noted peculiarities, possible causes: dump estimated the mounted drive had 31668 tape blocks the dump completed indicating 31675 tape blocks on 1 volume if it is a matter of changing the density options or something because we are dumping to HD/file rather than a tape? assistance or guidance appreciated Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
