I have been running BSD for a week or so now. I have everything setup just right, Webmail, DNS, IMAP, Webserver, etc....
I just install a DDS-2 tape drive, I have been reading about using dump for backing up filesystems. How can I use dump to backup the entire drive? If I try using:
dump 0 -A ad0
it fails.. do I have to run dump on each slice? I plan on setting up a chron job that runs every night to do a incremental backup, then a full backup at the end of the week. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Have you read the manpage?
dump works by filesystem.
If you not sure what that is then use df it will show you a listing of Filesystems and their disk consumption. Or look at your /etc/fstab
this an example of what I use:
/sbin/dump -0au -f /dev/nsa0 /usr
/dev/nsa0 will need to be whatever your device is and if you are going to dump more than one thing to the tape in sequence then use the device node that is non-rewinding i.e. /dev/sa0 is scsi tape device /dev/nsa0 is non-rewinding.
you also need to use mt if you write more than one thing to the tape to position the tape head to where you want to be. I suggest man mt for more info about that
