I finally got a tape drive installed on a RHEL5 server, and want to dump
multiple local filesystems (and eventually NFS-mounted ones) to tape.
What is the most recommended dump command line option setup to use?
I've tried, for example,
dump -0u -z2 -f /dev/st0 / /home but that failed
dump -0u -z2 -f /dev/st0/home.dump / /home but that failed
dump -0u -z2 -f /dev/st0 /home does work (one filesystem).
Can I safely have multiple dump statements to reflect each filesystem to dump?
I want to dump /var and /home anyway, and ideally the whole filesystem.
Once I get an NFS system mounted, any changes to how I would dump it, or simply
use its local mount point?
Thanks.
Scott
