Hello,

A new option in FreeBSD 5.x `dump` is the -L option for backing up a
live filesystem ...

Is there a way to examine/check a dump file to see if it was created
using the -L or not ?

ALSO, if I do use -L when creating a dump, do I need to restore it any
differently, or can I restore it the same regardless of whether I used -L
or not ?


thanksyou!
