I am having some issues using this tool call "Dump", currently located under /sbin/dump, you all know that. ;-). Well, my goal is to do a dump of file system /home which holds all the directories of my users into an external USB drive /dev/da0s1d with mount point is /backup. dump doesn't copy files to files, but files to raw device (partition, tape, DVD) or to one/few big files. if you like to backup to disk on filesystem use rsync, or just cp or tar. first allow you to synchronize trees
