G'day...
Ahh... think we've found the culprit here...
`cat /etc/dumpdates` produces nothing.
`dump -W` produces:
Last dump(s) done (Dump '>' file systems):
> /dev/sda1 ( /) Last dump: never
> /dev/sda8 ( /home) Last dump: never
> /dev/sda9 (/local) Last dump: never
> /dev/sda10 ( /opt) Last dump: never
> /dev/sda6 ( /usr) Last dump: never
> /dev/sda7 ( /var) Last dump: never
/dev/sdb1 (/mnt/backup) Last dump: never
Hrmm... it would seem that dump isn't writing anything to /etc/dumpdates
for some reason...
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or need to modify to adjust this?
Thanks...
Mike

It's fairly clear that IT doesn't think there has been
a full backup. Did the full backup complete successfully?
What does
dump -W
or
cat /etc/dumpdates
show?
