Hi, I am trying to use dump to backup some data.
I have been using this command: /sbin/dump -0ua -f /dev/st0 / -L slash 2>> output.txt followed by: /sbin/dump -1a -f /dev/st0 /usr -L usr 2>> output.txt When I do a restore -t The second comand rewrites over the data I recorded with the first command. I want to dump the whole filesystem to the tape. How would I do that ? My filesystem. #/dev/sda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1 #/dev/sdb5 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 #/dev/sdb1 /usr/local/blackboard ext2 defaults 1 2 #/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0 #/dev/sda9 /tmp ext2 defaults 1 2 #/dev/sda8 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 #/dev/sda6 /var ext2 defaults 1 2 #/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 #/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 1 #none /proc proc defaults 0 0 #none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 #/dev/sda7 swap swap defaults 0 0 Sample output.
