Like the message says: You can't use DUMP to backup a subdirectory, DUMP
work only on partition.
You must use GNUTAR to backup a directory.

Hello all,
I'm a little confused, I've been running the same config for years,
last change a couple of years ago, and now I am starting to get some
errors on two systems.
Both the systems are RHEL 5.x (latest), running a compiled 2.5.2p1 to
get over a redhat omission, interestingly one system is a clone of the
other (nearly!), both the system fail backing up /usr/local. Other
directories backup with no issues. I've got no clues, the debug spits
out exactly the same error as the log, so no extra info there,
/-- host1 /usr/local lev 0 FAILED [dump (20830) /sbin/dump returned 1]
sendbackup: start [host1:/usr/local level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/sbin/restore -xpGf - ...
sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
sendbackup: info end
| DUMP: You can't update the dumpdates file when dumping a subdirectory
| DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
sendbackup: error [dump (20830) /sbin/dump returned 1]
\--------
Does anyone know what this is?
Many thanks,
Neil.
