Doing the restore is much the same thing in reverse:
# cd /usr ; ssh linuxbox cat /foo/fbsd-usr.dump | restore -rf -
or
# cd

It seemed easy enough, but it wasn't. ssh linuxbox won't work because
I need a password. Guess I have to alter things to have an automatic ssh

Does anyone know if somebody working on a port for vmware3.2?
The difference between version 2 and 3 is very noticable, so I would be
very happy w/ a running vmware3.2 under freebsd. I'm not able to do

This drive must not be down too long, otherwise I get into lots of
