I have tried to use dump and restore without using a tape. I can dump successfully, but attempts to restore fail in interactive mode with an indexing issue (it keeps asking for the volume number to check and when I provide 1, it cannot find anything). backup.sh script: #!/bin/sh # dump to file on disk /sbin/dump -0u -f /backup/volume /dev/volume # compress file on disk /usr/bin/gzip /backup/volume restore.sh script: #!/bin/sh # uncompress, probably ok to use zcat instead of cat instead /usr/bin/gzip -d /backup/volume # restore interactive mode /bin/cat /backup/volume | /sbin/restore ivf - # recompress, ditto to above remark /usr/bin/gzip /backup/volume Any ideas? -- Mark P.
