I think this is what you are looking for (lists.freebsd.org seems to down a= t=20 the moment, so I can't confirm this is the thread I think it is): http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-November/064560.h= tml Anyway, to backup /usr directly to a dvd(+rw), I use the this command: dump -0 -uL -C16 -B4589840 -P 'growisofs -speed=3D4 -Z /dev/dvd=3D/dev/fd/0= ' /usr This gives you a dvd or series of dvds with the dump file on them. You can= =20 then boot from CD2 (live system) and use restore to restore the data. If th= e=20 link above is the one I think it is, it gives you an example restore comman= d. Hope that's the kind of thing you are after.
