I'm trying to do the dump /opt into the backup/full directory. It is not happening. Dump keeps telling me that /backup/full is a directory and that it cannot open it. This is the command I'm using:

dump 0uf /backup/full /opt

I tried using /dev/sdb1 and I clobbered /backup

I think I figured something out. I gave it a filename to dump to. This was my command:

dump 0uf /backup/full/opt.bak /opt

It seems to be working.

I have to go now, so my new question is:

How do I restore from this file?

I tried restore -if /backup/full/opt.bak

> add *
> extract

It did not work.... Trying elsewise...
