How to use dump?

[Lisandro Grullon]

That sounds like a good command to use, but don't I have to use the -L switch hence the filesystem is live? What about the restore method the same notation would apply, right? Have you use this methodology yourself or would you recomend using another method?

dump doesn't copy files to files, but files to raw device (partition,tape, DVD) or to one/few big files.
Dump is used to back up a file system and can write that data to a file. It doesn't have to write to a raw device. To dump /home to /backup, do something like "dump 0auf /backup/home.dump /home".Frem.
