Hi

I backup my system with the Dump command. The problem is, i can
start the restore but he always complains bad name to addentry

When i start restore with the opion -i and make a ls, i can see the
directory
and the file i want to restore

restore > ls httpd
/usr/local/httpd:
434225 ./ 446482 cgi-bin/ 608301 htdocs/ 1017881 include/
266241 ../ 434368 etc 743447 icons/ 780463 users/
restore>cd httpd/htdocs
restore> add index.html
bad name to addentry ./usr/local/httpd/htdocs
abort? [yn]

Is there a bug in dump/restore ???? The size of the Filesystem is now
2,1 GB...
Is it possible, that dump/restore has a problem handling filesystems
greater 2 GB ???

Thanks for helping

Oliver

Check the man page for restore. Apparently you can only add
directories, not individual files. This seems very different
from the dump/restore commands I am familiar with from the
SunOS and other forms of Unix. You can add directories without
a problem. I haven't tried to extract.

You might consider using tar instead of dump.
