It depends on the tape and if your drive supports hardware compression. I used dump for 90m (2GB) Tapes with hardware compression the following way: # The dump level is the first and only parameter to this script LEVEL=$1 TAPESIZE=$((3200*1024)) FILE_SYSTEMS="/ /opt /usr /var /home" mt rewind for i in ${FILE_SYSTEMS} do dump ${LEVEL}Bf ${TAPESIZE} /dev/tape $i done Torsten -- Whenever a system becomes completely defined, some damn fool discovers something which either abolishes the system or expands it beyond recognition.
