- I want to use the dump command to backup a full volume instead
- of just each partition. I thought that you could talk about
- the whole partition by using the name of the drive (ex: sd0) and
- the c slice. But this doesn't work. It just seems to backup
- the first partition of the drive. Here is the command I use:
-
- /etc/dump 0ubdsf 126 540000 6000 /dev/nrst0 /dev/sd0c
-
- This will backup only the root partion instead of the whole
- volume.

- This is how the man page lists the procedure:
-
- To make a full backup of the entire disk sd3, on a 2.3-GByte
- 8mm tape st2, use:
-
- dump 0dsbfu 54000 6000 126 /dev/rst2 /dev/sd3c
