I've got a tape drive and I can backup my drive using "tar cv /dev/nrsa0 /", but, I'm wanting to compress it. When I try "dump -0u -f /dev/nrsa0 /", I get an error message saying DUMP: bad sblock magic number DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. What is the best way to backup the entire system to a tape with compression? --Todd _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
