I have freebsd 4.10 on one of my production servers.
I have been using the dump/restore combo to backup my drive, and I run a
nightly dump -9 on the /home partition, and most of the dump -9s are
dumped to a single tape since I don't have daily acs to swap the tapes
more than once a month or so.
I'm wondering if there is a utility that can index the dumps on a tape
and list the time/date for each dump on the tape. I looked through the
dump/restore/mt man pages, google'd, and looked though the ports
without much luck.
Well, you could do a 'restore -t' on the tape and pipe the output to a file.
You would have to reposition the tape and then run the restore on it.
Then you might have to sort it to suit yourself.
Lack of a good index feature is a major deficiency of dump/restore from
my point of view.
Also, I hope you do an occasional dump 0 and not all just dump 9.
