I am not sure if this is on topic or not, if not, please correct me. I
am running some freebsd servers at an ISP and I am trying to do remote
backups with dump. I am trying to run it over ssh so this is the command I
am using:
dump -0uaf - /www/homes| ssh remotehost.foo.com dd of=/usr/backup3/jo.test bs=10k
I know that I can run an incremental backup this way:
dump -3uaf - /www/homes| ssh remotehost.foo.com dd of=/usr/backup3/jo.test2 bs=10k
(I changed the backup number from 0 to 3, and I changed the output file
to a different filename.)
How is dump supposed to know which files to incrementally back up? It
seems as though it is generating a file just as large as the first. I know
my method of sending it across ssh may be messing something up. Any ideas?
Thanks!
