I'm working on ways to backup my entire FreeBSD 4.3 system using dump.  I'm 
trying to do a full backup of the entire filesystem using:

dump -0 -a -f /dev/nrsa0 -n -u /

It's working, but not how I'm wanting it to.  If I use the same command 
except have it to backup the /mnt.  It backups all subfolders, files, etc 
within /mnt.  Why wouldn't this work with /?
