dump & restore



Hi,

	I'm trying to learn how dump and restore utilities work and I'm
having not much success. I could do a dump of a filesystem using the line
dump 0udf 61000 /dev/nst0 /tmp2, where 61000 is the density of my tape. 
	If I do only this, I can restore /tmp2 without problems. 
	How can I backup another filesystem to the tape? It's a 60m tape;
/tmp2 is only 190MB and the filesystem I want to append is about 300MB,
that is, there is free space!
	I have read the man pages but couldn't figure out how to do this.
	Any help will be greatly appreciated. Suggestions on other methods
of backup, too!
	Thanks,
