Bret, Steve and Charles.
OK, Thanks a lot for your input. (You too, Steve. I read *all* posts on
a subject that I've started. :-)
I'll probably look into both amanda and arkeia. If that doesn't please
me, I might finally find myself going back to tar again. :-)
Best regards

FYI, you can do this with arkeia's arkc command line tool too.

I don't think dump follows symbolic links by default to both keep from
backing up a particular file multiple times as well as to eliminate the
possibility of a recursive loop during the backup.
I don't have easy access to the man pages right now (on my windows laptop
at home) but it seems that I
Hi,
I was just trying out dump/restore. Seems to be a nice package. Most
importantly, I should be able to do a restore even if my system becomes
rather 'crippled' since restore doesn't require X.
My problem is when doing dump:

Subtle hint to get you passed the tape label. Skip by the first file!
To restore try

got the following message:
Tape is not a dump tape
