Subject:   restore(1) dumpfile to directory rather than filesystem -- possible?
Message-ID:  <77647f500801281518h4bfd02f2xcde2c319e2173b99@mail.gmail.com>

On a 6.2 system, I am making some backups using dump(1)

I would like to test the integrity of these dumpfiles by using
restore(1) to restore them.

However, I don't have an actual live filesystem available to test this
on....can I just restore to a directory on an existing fs to be sure?
Is this even possible?
