Yup. That is it. Make up the file systems on the new machine and restore in to each of them. Note, that when you do the restores, you must cd in to the filesystem where you want the restore to go. Don't just do it from root. The mount point (eg '/' for root, '/home' for the /home file system if you have that, etc) is removed from the path by dump. > > Can we DUMP all filesystems from one machine in one file then restore it? Not really. DUMP goes by file system. You could put them all on one tape if you are using tape - just sequentially one file after the other. ////jerry > > -Grant > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
