That's what dump does; it works on file systems. What you could do,
of course, is dump / to the non-rewinding tape device, then dump
/usr to the same and then dump /var. Since the tape will not rewind
at the end of each dump, you keep on adding to the end of the
last dump (think about how to record 4 seperate 30min cartoons
on one 2hr VCR tape... :) )
Cheers!
