I am not sure what you can't find in the docs. # dump -0af /path/to/dump/file /filesystem Should dump eveything on the /filesystem to the file named. You can then move that file to wherever you want to keep it using whatever means you feel most comfortable. OTOH, if you want to pipe the file straight to another machine using, say, SSH, # dump -0af - /filesystem | ssh -f another-machine "cat > /path/to/dump/file" I am not sure what is missing from the docs. -- Crist J.
