I have recently retrieved dump/restore from ftp.brl.mil, & I have been trying
to test it out.

When I issue the following command, I get the following results:

% dump 0usdf 2300 6250 /dev/rmt/xmt0d0.6250 /dev/dsk/dks0d1s0
/etc/dumpdates: No such file or directory
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Mar 11 09:38:46 1991
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/dsk/dks0d1s0 (/) to /dev/rmt/xmt0d0.6250
/dev/dsk/dks0d1s0: Permission denied
  DUMP: Cannot open/stat /dev/dsk/dks0d1s0


If I run the above command as root I get the following response:

% /usr1/people/c60244/dump-restore # ~/bin/dump 0usdf 2300 6250 /dev/rmt/xmt0d0.6250 /dev/dsk/dks0d1s0
/etc/dumpdates: No such file or directory
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Mar 11 09:39:48 1991
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/dsk/dks0d1s0 (/) to /dev/rmt/xmt0d0.6250
  DUMP: Cannot find character device for /dev/dsk/dks0d1s0

Any clues/hints will be appreciated on how to use dump/restore.
