To restore it, just type: tar xvf /dev/st0 ttfn. Btw, dump will not work on Linux, unless you've got a proprietary dump command installed. The default system utilities for Linux do not include dump. If your Linux is a modern distro, it might however include xfsdump which probably does the same thing as dump, but it will only work on an xfs partition. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCQ5UEgYKvkeyp3F4RAugCAKClHmj/WCMYf27ASmsV3llMdqeQswCeIXdP 3J84PWP+n/AK+Udf5aubTn0= =BLvc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
