Article-I.D.: sri-unix.3009 Posted: Mon Aug 30 21:26:11 1982 Received: Wed Sep 8 03:24:21 1982 Date: 25 Aug 1982 at 1432-PDT We frequently have problems creating multi-tape full dumps, and are thinking about modifying dump to let us restart it on a tape other than the first. That is, if tape number 3 of a 4 tape dump gets trashed somehow (too many tape errors, hitting two CR's instead of one when it tells you to change tapes, etc.), it would be nice to be able to break out of dump and do something like "dump -R 3 0u" which would only write out reels 3 and 4. (This is assuming, of course, that the file system you are dumping is quiescent. Anyway, if anyone has already done this I would appreciate being saved the work of doing it myself... -Dan Chernikoff (dan@SRI-TSC) SRI International
