I use dump/restore for doing backups to tape, not for cloning file systems. ``restore -i'' is nice because it lets the user pick and choose which files (s)he ( non-sexist :) wants to restore beforehand. That's what I was thinking of when I wrote the above. And of course, dump/restore are the standard way to backup file systems to tape in the *NIX world. --- Gary Jennejohn / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
