Hi, I just grabbed the dump binaries and tried to get it to work on our 4d/20 irises (OS 3.1d) and this is what I got: # dump 0f /dev/tape / DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Mar 12 12:25:44 1991 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/rroot (/) to /dev/tape read: Invalid argument DUMP: (This should not happen) bread from /dev/rroot [block 1]: count=512, got=-512 DUMP: bad magic number (0x0) in superblock DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. Could this be something to do with our OS (which is now out of date!)? Would recompiling the sources on our system fix this? If so can I get them from somewhere? Hope somebody can shed some light on this.

Please note that the DUMP/RESTORE binaries were compiled on IRIX 3.3.1, and probably won't work on versions of the system that are not IRIX 3.3.* Sorry, -Mike
