I can successfully (I think) dump my / filesystem. I'd also like to append my /usr filesystem to the end of it as well. It's not clear to me as to how to do this. What I'm currently using is: dump 0f - / | gzip | dd of=/dev/rst0 bs=32k Is this what I should be using? Things appear to work. Also, what do I use to verify that what was written actually got written? Is there a sort of ls style listing I can get off of the tape? Thanks! -->Neil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synthcom System's homepage: http://www.synthcom.com/ Europa Upgrade, Synth patches (D-50, Xpander/Matrix 12), used gear pricelist
