I have two disks; one is the fbsd system drive, the other is for backup purposes.
I'm in doubt about what to use: dump or rsync I guess I can do something like: mount /dev/ad1s3a /backup/root mount /dev/ad1s3d /backup/var mount /dev/ad1s3f /backup/usr /usr/local/bin/rsync -avHxS --delete /usr /backup/usr for /usr / and var OR #!/bin/sh newfs /dev/ad0s3a newfs /dev/ad0s3d newfs /dev/ad0s3f mount /dev/ad0s3a /backup/root mount /dev/ad0s3d /backup/var mount /dev/ad0s3f /backup/usr (/sbin/dump -L -0f - /)|(cd /backup/root ; /sbin/restore -rf -) (/sbin/dump -L -0f - /var)|(cd /backup/var ; /sbin/restore -rf -) (/sbin/dump -L -0f - /usr)|(cd /backup/usr ; /sbin/restore -rf -) umount /backup/root umount /backup/var umount /backup/usr tunefs -n enable /dev/ad0s3d tunefs -n enable /dev/ad0s3f This gives me a perfect copy, BUT there is a risk if something goes wrong when I have newfs'd the backup drive.
