Such a person is not making backups and deserves what he gets. I haven't got anything to say about dump/restore because I haven't bothered with them for years. I do know that dumps from mounted file systems will often appear to work, but will fail when it matters. This is not a bug and is expected behaviour to which the solution is obvious. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
