I think the problem is that you need to use /etc/rdump.  Now why in 4.3BSD,
dump and rdump are still separate programs, I don't know.

Anyways, I've managed to rdump my 330 Mb SCSI disk onto a MicroVax TK50 tape
drive.  I can't say who is to blame, but it took over 5 hours to do over
the network!  There's got to be a better way (I still haven't gotten my blank
optical disks yet!).
