- I'm trying to back up my system before I install 3.0. I jave brought
- my cube to work with me and added it to our network of suns. To backup
- the file system I am rinning the following command:
-
- rdump.old 0fsdu mode:/dev/nrst0 6000 54000 /dev/rsd0a
-
- The dump proceesed alright, but I cannot use the sun restore, the NeXT
- restore, or the NeXT restore.old to recover any files. I am making the
- dump in single user mode on the NeXT. The figures 6000 ft for the 8mm
- tape was aken fron the sun man page ( the estimated tape space used
- that dump reports makes sense with this figure ) 54000 bpi is fron
- NeXT's dump man page.
- Any hints or clues on this? Perhaps we should start a sysadmin FAQ, I
- imagine I'm not the only one with this problem.
