I'd like to do a level 0 backup of my system using dump, but I don't have tapes and was thinking in storing the backup in CD's. A full backup will not fit in a single CD, but I have a second HD where I can temporarily store the output from dump, so I thought of doing the following: dump -0u -B 600000 -f /the-second-hard-drive/file-name /dev/the-system this will start dump and stop once the 600000 limit is reached, asking whether the second volume is ready; at this time, I change the name of the just generated volume (say, make it file-name-a), and say yes. I continue this way. Once done, I copy each of the "file-name-a", "file-name-b", etc, to a separate CD. I know I can execute the dump command, and do the name changing thing. But I wonder if I will be able to restore the files. Is there a better way to do this? (I've been looking at tar, cpio, zip, but I think dump might be the way to go).
