Hi all,
My harddisk was failing and I wanted the data copied to another disk,
but since my original wouldn't boot, I installed a minimal FreeBSD on
the new disk, mounted the old partitions under /mnt and copied from the
original to the new partitions by using:

I did and it does.
you may try to compile OpenBSD restore from sources under FreeBSD and use
it.
compared to dump, restore does not do anything filesystem specific, just
reads input and make files.
if any - there should not be many fixes needed to make it compile.

actually second was a guess. first was natural, as amd64 and i386 are both
little endian, int&long are same sized under gcc, and memory pointers are
not stored in dump files.

If I dump on amd64 should I be able to
extract files from the dump on i386?
i'm almost sure yes but please check
If so, should it be possible to restore a
FreeBSD amd64 dump on OpenBSD i386?
probably not.

I realize that when I do this I will need to delete alot of things from the
new box, but thats OK.
I intend to use Dump and Restore to completely copy the OS from the older

Hi,
I think I have a plan for upgrading a large number of computers over the network. I
would really appreciate some help finding flaws in this idea.
All the servers is installed with one partition for /, one for /var/. When I do the
initial install I move the /etc to /var/etc and synlink /etc
I have tried to use dump and restore without using a tape.
I can dump successfully, but attempts to restore fail in interactive
mode with an indexing issue (it keeps asking for the volume number to
check and when I provide 1, it cannot find anything).
