Hello,
It took reading the source code of a backup front-end to figure out that
"incremental backups" are not the same thing as "multiple incremental backups
on the same medium; spilling over to the next disk if necessary."
As the handbook (section 18.12.1) says, dump has quirks due to its desi
tch space used by the OS and completely irrelevant
to any other system.
Try looking in to the documentation.

Basically. on dump, the filesystem to be dumped comes last
on the command line.
The place to write the dump is that
wner:group, permissions and flags), so it has
to operate on a mounted file system.
That's why the rule: source not mounted or -L, destination
mounted and writable (and empty).
The dd program operates on blocks of variable size. It has no
concept of files and directories. It should not be

The dump is just a file and it should not matter where it is
stored, but you will have to use some network access type thing
such as an rsh or an NFS connection to read it.
Another thing is that restores need to be done on the same OS
that the dumps were written - regardless

Sure, you *could* do that, but be sure to encrypt *and* sign the

Run dump -0aLf - / | ssh ip_address ''cd /mnt/ && cat | restore - rf
