Transferring dump files ASCII or BINARY
Hi all, I am attempting to restore a root filesystem I donwloaded this morning. I downloaded it in binary mode, and when I try to restore -rf /usbstick/root.dump I am getting: Tape is not a dump tape Should dumps be transfered in BINARY or ASCII mode? Any other insights welcome. Also, should I remove the .snap file in the pristine filesystem before performing the restore? Also, The dump was done on a freebsd 7.2 R machine, and I am using the FreeBSD 7.2 live filesystem CD to do the restores. -Grant ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Transferring dump files ASCII or BINARY
I downloaded it in binary mode, and when I try t that's right. restore -rf /usbstick/root.dump I am getting: Tape is not a dump tape Should dumps be transfered in BINARY or ASCII mode? binary. Any other insights welcome. there is other problem somewhere else. Also, should I remove the .snap file in the pristine filesystem before performing the restore? no need. Also, The dump was done on a freebsd 7.2 R machine, and I am using the FreeBSD 7.2 live filesystem CD to do the restores. ALL fine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
