   but I only could get the following command to do anything:

	   dump 0uf - /dev/sd0s1f | whatever...

   So I question myself and you, is it just possible to
   dump an entire device or is there a way to specify
   a single directory?

   Kai

You can dump an entire device as follows.

# dump 0uf - /dev/rsd0s1f | whatever...
                  ~
You must specify a raw device.
