I suspect that that's the problem. In particular, you need a "-a"
instead of "-B XXXXXX". I've included a copy of the script I use for
this if you want to try that.
Most of the configurable stuff is documented at the top; you'll
probably want to set WEEKLYEXTRA to "" until you're comfortable with
the script, and decide what you want to do then. I have it burn a CD
of the weekly backups after the weeklies are done.
The configurable stuff that's not documented in the top is in
/etc/fstab. Set the sixth (freq) field of each file system to control
how often it's dumped. 0 means never dump it, 1 means every day, 2 is
every two days, and so on.
I keep meaning to tweak this into distributable form and write docs,
but just haven't done it yet. If you like it, bug me about it, and
that may provide the incentive I need to finish the thing.
