This should be OK. You can even interactively (!) restore from that file using a command like: gunzip /filelocation/filename.dump.gz -c |restore -if - For a full restore of all files in the dumpfile use: cd restoredir gunzip /filelocation/filename.dump.gz -c |restore -rf - Martin _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
