restore various level dump files

2008-04-04 Thread C Thala
If i have 3 dump(1)-files from a filesystem and restore them via restore -i -f dump-file, how do I layer them together? That is, how do I tell restore that I want to restore a level 0, 1, and 2? Do I run restore -i -f dump-0 and then restore -i -f dump-1 and then restore -i -f dump-2 in that

Like Javascript, with regards to Flash, what was once a nuisance has more or less become a necessity. I turned off JS on my browsers for several years and avoided most popup/web issues that people had. Nowadays, I can leave it on because Firefox plus some plugins do a good job of blocking most of
