Hi,
Looking at /etc/daily I can see that backup is done by dd(1) command:
echo "Backing up root filesystem:"
echo "copying /dev/r$rootdev to /dev/r$rootbak"
dd if=/dev/r$rootdev of=/dev/r$rootbak bs=16b seek=1 skip=1 \
conv=noerror
fsck -y /dev/r$rootbak
My question is: backup isn't done by dump(8) and restore(8) because of
/boot'ing stuff, right? If it is, why it could not be done by dump/restore
and installboot(8)?
What procedure is more safety? dd'ing device and then run fsck on
output device, or runing after dump/restore installboot?
