Subject: Multi-Volume DUMP I have just connected a WangDAT drive to my NeXT computer, and it worked quite nicely right from start (pretending it is a short Exabyte drive is what makes it work). I would like to know, however, how one would go about doing multi-volume dumps. My dump utility seems to only take one argument as the filesystem to back up. Since a disk drive is typically much less than the capacity of the DAT drive, I presume I am not the first to have this problem. The mdump programs in uunet.uu.net/comp.sources.unix/volume[23] do not do the job, because they require a dumptab.h file which does not exist on my NeXT BSD 4.3 implementation. Also, is there a utility for such tape drives to rewind, wind forward, etc.? Thank you for any advice. /ivo welch ivo@next.agsm.ucla.edu
