Re: dump and 4mm DAT
I use:
dump 0uBf 4096000 /dev/st0
A couple of things to notice:
0 This means do a level 0 dump (everything). You'll want to work out a schedule
of full/incremental dumps
u This means that /etc/dumpdates should be updated. Incrementals backups depend
on this data.
B This is the length of the media, in bytes. It is important that you make this
the length of your tape. I've got a DDS2 drive which has 4GB capacity (native) on
120M tapes.
/dev/st0 This is obviously the device file. Yours is probably the same.
