I use dump to back up my hard drive, and it works well, except that I am unable to get it to back up the msdos filesystem (Win95 - FAT 16) that is also on the hard drive. When I try to do the dump command: dump -0uaf /dev/nrsa0 /dosc I get the error: DUMP: Dumping /dev/rwd0s1 (/dosc) to /dev/nrsa0 DUMP: bad sblock magic number and then it dies. Is there a switch, or something I can use to enable backing up my msdos partition? I've looked in the dump manpages, and searched the mailing list, but I've found nothing. I can access the drive using the /dosc mountpoint to copy/move/delete files, so I know the partition is mounted properly. Thanks. Mark.
