How does it actually fail ? Do the dump processes stall, or does it
error out ? Did you fsck the file system ? I have seen dump fail
when the file system is dirty. Also, I am not using snapshots. The
flags I use are
/sbin/dump -C24 -${BACKUP_LEVEL}anuf - /zoo | /usr/bin/gzip | dd
of=/backup/zoo-level-${BACKUP_LEVEL}.gz
