Hello. I am using 'dump' to backup client filesystems to a disk file on an NFS mounted partition, e.g. dump -0aLu -f /bk/var-20050516 /var Now I'd like to take the backup file (var-200500516) and move it to tape (on the NFS server). However I'd like the tape to have the data just as if it had been created directly by 'dump', e.g. dump -0aLu -f /dev/nsa0 /var Any way to do this? I could use rdump/rmt to backup directly to the remote tape, but I am doing it this way to do fast disk-based backups during night and move to slower tapes during day. For normal restores I can use NFS-based files but have tapes for single-user-mode type restores. Thanks. -- Viren Patel Chemistry & Biochemistry University of Texas at Austin
