The archives should be full of them, or at least this example: rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 xyz.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 / rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 xyz.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /var rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 xyz.uoregon.edu:/dev/nrst0 /usr rdump 0uBbf 2000000 10 xyz.uoregon.edu:/dev/rst0 /usr1 This is using rdump, simply change to dump and remove the hostname: for local usage. You may want to use options 0uaf rather than 0uBbf so it'll run to end-of-tape.
