Spencer" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: dump and multiple filesystems Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Greetings, I have a flawlesssly working Exebyte 2G 8mm drive operating perfectly on a perfectly running 3.4 system. My question is whether or not there is a way to trick dump into not being married to the idea of backing up one filesystem at a time. I realize that there are ports for other backup systems; however, I like dump's relative simplicity and (obvious) availability (yeah, okay. restore's interactive mode :) On top of this, I have no need to store a 250M filesystem on a 2G tape! Any hints, tips, blatent answers or redirections to a good FM would be appreciated! Regards, Stephen "Will there be another race to come along and take over for us?
