Hi:

I want to dump my entire OS (apps, files, everything) to another file on the
same drive.

What are the steps neessary to do this (once off).

I believe I may have to boot in single user mode and unmount my filesystem.

I just need someone to broadly outline the steps necessary. Also can you
provide an example of how to use dump to dump to a file on the same drive
(assuming there is enough room on the drive).

Would be helpful to know how to tell how much available space there is
remaining on a drive.

Thanks

Yvonne
