Ok so I think I got it (thick head I know, Microsoft Will do that to ya,
read = MCSE)...
So I this is how I make two different dumps then use the interactive mode of
restore like this:
# dump -0u -b 126 -d 141000 -s 11500 -L hda1 -f /dev/nst0 /dev/hda1
# dump -0u -b 126 -d 141000 -s 11500 -L hda5 -f /dev/nst0 /dev/hda5
# mt -f /dev/st0 rewind
# restore -i (this is the first dump)
# mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf
# restore -i (this is the second dump)
etc., etc., right! Seems to work.. Excellent..
Thanks again..
