missing something here...

FreeBSD installed with normal partitions/slices
	/
	/usr
	/var
Second HD mounted as /backup

goal:
level 0 dump of primary drive to secondary drive weekly,
level1(incremential) dumps to secondary drive nightly.  Restore from
secondary drive in case of primary failure.

command:
	dump -0ua -f /backup/backupfile /

results:
	32mb backup file (aroo?)

noted peculiarities, possible causes:
	dump estimated the mounted drive had 31668 tape blocks
	the dump completed indicating 31675 tape blocks on 1 volume

if it is a matter of changing the density options or something because
we are dumping to HD/file rather than a tape?

assistance or guidance appreciated

Dave
