Seems like you have some experience with "dump". A read of the man pages has a realy baffling bit about the tower of hanoi algorithm. It says incrementals should be taken on a daily basis 3 2 5 4 7 6 9 8 9 9.... It then goes on to say that a weekly should be taken with level 1. Well, there's more than 7 levels there so I'm not sure how it all fits together. It reads like they should be done all in the same day?? I was under the impression you shouldn't "dump" a disk unles it's umount'd. And, for us real newbies, how do you un-dump??
