- Hi,
-
- Here's an easy one. I have two Suns, and since their / partitions are so
- small, I'd like to dump them to both to one tape (sequentially) with the
- "dump" command. How do I do this (preferably without using the no-rewind
- options), and how do I restore the partitions correctly when they're
- sequential?
-
- I RTFM, but the solution escapes me. Could some kind person help me out?

- P.S. I could tar them, I suppose, but the intricacies of two sequential
- tar files are also unknown to me. Any enlightenment out there? Is it
- just a plain file with an EOF?
