If I do a level 0 dump on Monday. Then, I do a level 5 dump the rest of the
week, if I have to recover something, from say Tuesday on Friday. Do I need
to apply Thursday, Wednesday and Tuesday dump to recover a file?
Does anyone knows
Thank you

Any given level x ignores any previous level x backups and only uses the
previous level (<x) for differentials.
In your case, regardless of what is backed up on Tue, the Wed 5 is
everything that has changed since Monday.
You have 2 levels, you'll need at most 2 tapes.
If you *wanted* to have more of an incremental backup system where new
data was on at most one tape, you'd have to keep increasing the levels
every day..

I have been testing ufsdump. It seems to work great. I have never
tried to restore from it, though. I went into ufsrestore -i and was
able to see what I backed up. I deleted one of the directories on the
live system and then selected it in ufsrestore:
ufsrestore > add images
Warning: ./images: File exists
Warning: ./images/private: File exists
ufsrestore > extract
You have not read any volumes yet.
Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start
with the last volume and work towards the first.
Specify next volume #:
I continue:
Specify next volume #: 0
Volume numbers are positive numerics
You have not read any volumes yet.
Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start
with the last volume and work towards the first.
Specify next volume #: 1
set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] y
Directories already exist, set modes anyway? [yn] y

At which point it does nothing. So, I try again...

Mount volume 1
then enter volume name (default: /dev/rmt/0)

Again, nothing. And, more importantly, I have even tried the command
line ufsrestore to do the same and it asks the same questions. I can't
seem to find any info on this in the Solaris docs, man pages or Sys
Admin books. Could someone explain how this is supposed to work?
