Re: How to use dump?
Hi Daemons, I have been trying to learn this amazing OS in the last few months, it has a lot of tools which can be useful within my toolbox. I am having some issues using this tool call Dump, currently located under /sbin/dump, you all know that. ;-). Well, my goal is to do a dump of file system /home which holds all the directories of my users into an external USB drive /dev/da0s1d with mount point is /backup. dump doesn't copy files to files, but files to raw device (partition, tape, DVD) or to one/few big files. if you like to backup to disk on filesystem use rsync, or just cp or tar. first allow you to synchronize trees ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: How to use dump?
That sounds like a good command to use, but don't I have to use the -L switch hence the filesystem is live? What about the restore method the same notation would apply, right? Have you use this methodology yourself or would you recomend using another method?
