Being fairly new to FreeBSD (and Unix in general) I have now a need to set up a fairly comprehensive backup regieme. A simple tar to /der/rst0 is no longer suitable. I need to backup the following Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0a 89998 16592 66208 20% / /dev/sd0s1e 1702614 896114 670292 57% /home /dev/sd1s1e 322702 4 296882 0% /tmp /dev/sd2s1e 920252 406050 440582 48% /usr /dev/sd1s1f 201870 5756 179966 3% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc Now, I know I can go without /tmp and there is no need to backup /proc but I want to be able to backup the remaining systems to a single tape, with a rotating tape log (5 tapes over a week) I know I can use dump, but after digging through the man pages and the O'Rielly (God bless them) Sys Admin Bible I cannot see how to specify multiple filesystems in the single dump command. I am currently backup up the /home tree with dump 0usfd 42500 /dev/rst0 5000 /dev/sd0s1e (I am using a 4mm DAT Drive (WangDAT)) Does anyone out there have a good FAQ they could point me to, or have suggestions? Regards, Mikel
