Dick: You don't have to use Tapes. Check a little closer. Dump/restore works very, very well from HD to HD. Makes bootable backups and is the one I trust the most with my data and files system backups. "dd" is good for "Ghost-like" image..... makes a bootable as well although you may have to run fsck to boot up.... Best regards, Jack L.
