Really? The manual at "man restore" mentions: restore -r [-dDNuvy] [-b blocksize] [-f file | -P pipecommand] [-s fileno] And in the -r section: newfs /dev/da0s1a mount /dev/da0s1a /mnt cd /mnt restore rf /dev/sa0 So it seems that _both_ formats are supported (comparable to tar). One of the (in my opinion) most interesting reference sources for dump/restore also mentions this format: # mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt # mkdir /tmp/oldvar # cd /tmp/oldvar # restore -ruf /mnt/var.dump # umount /mnt Source: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/backup.html#_em_dump_8_em_em_restore_8_em -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
