using dump?

["Scott R. Ehrlich" <user=81@nabble.blu.org>]

 I finally got a tape drive installed on a RHEL5 server, and want to dump 
multiple local filesystems (and eventually NFS-mounted ones) to tape. 

What is the most recommended dump command line option setup to use? 

I've tried, for example, 

dump -0u -z2 -f /dev/st0 / /home but that failed 

dump -0u -z2 -f /dev/st0/home.dump / /home but that failed 

dump -0u -z2 -f /dev/st0 /home does work (one filesystem). 

Can I safely have multiple dump statements to reflect each filesystem to 
dump? 

I want to dump /var and /home anyway, and ideally the whole filesystem. 

Once I get an NFS system mounted, any changes to how I would dump it, or 
simply use its local mount point? 

Thanks. 

Scott
