To do incremental backups after this initial level 0, just increase the dump level, full restore use the latest 0 level, and the latest incremental(s). Suggest though you man dump first. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://home.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
