Hello all. I have another dump question (I think I blew up my computer) Last night I used the dump command to back up / /usr and /var to an exabyte 8505. I was starting with a tape at the top. used the following command mt rewind mt comp on dump -0ua /dev/da0s1a dump -0ua /dev/da0s1f dump -0ua /dev/daos1e When I went to run restore -i to inspect the tape I did the following... mt rewind restore -i restore> what it reprorted back that only /var was on the tape It did not list / or /usr did dump wind the tape back to the top after each dump and rewrite from the top of the tape, blowing away the other 2 backups? In the future do I need to use mt to write some type of "end of record" so that dump does not hose me in the future? -Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
