	this is my method of daily backups for FreeBSD machines until i 
get amanda installed on a new 2.0.5 machine.

	the rdump args have to match those of the remote system, the sun, 
not the local system.  try this:

/sbin/rdump 0dsbfu 54000 13000 126 komodo:/dev/nrst8 /dev/rsd0a 2>&1 | 
tee -a /root/dumplog

for each disk partition.  (note: that is one line folded by the mailer)

restore with blocking factor of 126 also

/sbin/restore b 126 <--- add whatever else you need here
