I can run a check disk on it and it returned that the file system was previously mounted on /mnt/backup and returns that the file system is in good shape. I will have to wait until I get back in front of it to attempt the dump piped to restore. I have never had to recover a drive like that, is there anything specific I should look at for switches or just dump /dev/ad2s1 | restore?
