I'm trying to use dump.bsd to backup my directories to Apples 40 meg
cartrige tape drive. Anyone know what arguments to dump to use?

I've tried
dump.bsd 0cu ...

To back up over 40 megs
but with no luck...It looks like it is running to the end of the tape
before asking me to put in the next tape.  I've tried various
combinations of blocking factors and tape sizes (in feet,blocks,K) but
with no luck.

Has anybody out there successfully backed up their systems with
dump.bsd on AUX 2/0?

Thanks in advance
ira
