Try this: dump 0uabf 10 /dev/nrst0 / dump 0uabf 10 /dev/nrst0 /var dump 0uabf 10 /dev/rst0 /usr This dump sequence runs the backups end-to-end and rewinds the tape at the end. You may need to adjust the blocksize (`10') so that your tape streams. We run it over a network and 10 keeps the tape happy, but you may need a larger blocksize for a local tape. The SCSI tape device is /dev/rst0, but there are some options. I suggest reading the man pages for dump(8), st(4), and checking the mail archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html.
