I have a system with two disks. One is used as a
backup and is 
identical to the main disk. This is accomplished via
dump/restore.

When I try to do an incremental (or even full
dump/restore) I get 
a message stating that the file exists and it moves
on. In other 
words, I have to delete everything from the 2nd disk
and 
dump/restore the entire file system again. 

The Obvious Question:
Is there a way I can simply do an incremental
dump/restore and 
have it overwrite existing files on the 2nd drive?

This would save a ton of time and money.... The other
solution 
would be to buy another drive and alternate
dump/restore between 
drives. 

Any ideas appreciated.

Tim W.
