Ok, I made several full system backups (type "0") of all mount points (with "dump"). Assume, for instance, my /usr mount gets corrupted, and I need to do a full restore on it. How can this be done? The manual says, "The target file system should be made pristine with newfs(8)". But I bet you that I cannot just delete the /usr filesystem. At least not without causing my OS to stop functioning. So, how would I go about doing a full restore on /usr? Worse even, how do I safely restore the "/" filesystem? (should it ever become corrupted).
