I run dump nightly to backup my files to a second disk, something like this: dump -0 -a -f - / |gzip >/backup/larryboy/larryboy.root.dump.gz dump -0 -a -f - /usr |gzip >/backup/larryboy/larryboy.usr.dump.gz Last night in the middle of this process the system locked up. I had to push the reset key this morning to bring it back. UUCICO was also running about the same time as the backup. This has been a repeatable problem, although it doesn't crash every night Dump runs. Is fileaccess in the middle of a dump bad? I can't shut off all server functions for the duration of the dump. Is there a way I can make dump more file-sharing-friendly? TAR never did this.
