Swearingen" , said on Mon Jan 14, 2002 [10:31:11 AM]: } A NOTE ON "dump" USAGE: I see a problem with using dump in that the man } page says it doesn't dump files and directories with the "nodump" file } flag set. That seems to mean that to do a backup with confidence, one } would need to run "chflags" on everything one intends to dump. Not a } big problem if one remembers to do it; it just lengthens the process. No; from elsewhere in the dump(8) manpage: -h level Honor the user ``nodump'' flag (UF_NODUMP) only for dumps at or above the given level. The default honor level is 1, so that incremental backups omit such files but full backups retain them. So to effectively "turn off" nodump, just specify -h 0 on the dump command line. -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
