I need to find a method of backing up all files since a specific day.  I
tried using the following:
   tar cv `find / -newer /tmp/datefile`
However, the tar command complains that the argument list is to long.

I would ike to use either dump, tar or, cpio to create the backup, since
I may need to take it to another system.  It appears that I could use
dump, but I would have to configure the dumpdates files to control the
reference date.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to easily perform such a backup?
