[Dump-users] Dumping to another hard disk

[<dum...@di...>]

Hello folks. I have recently decided giving a try to this 'dump/restore'
set of commands in order to keep safe my personal information. Last
weekend my disk started to sound funny and got shrivers down my
spine. So I read the man pages and typed:

dump -0Muv -A 280304.toc -f /dev/hda2/280304.dmp

Apparently all run smoothly but...

1) I don't know where I can check a log (if any) in case there was
any problem.

2) There was a problem. I've tryed to restore a single file to test my
backup.

restore -i -f /dev/hda2/280304.dmp

So I 'Added' and 'extracted' the file but got the following messages:

restore> ls

Warning: undefined file type 116
Warning: undefined file type 28
Warning: undefined file type 105
Warning: undefined file type 28
Warning: undefined file type 103
Warning: undefined file type 45

english french german japanese korean spanish

restore> add spanish

restore> extract
You have not read any volumes yet.
Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should
start with the last volume and work towards the first.
Specify next volume # (none if no more volumes): none

./usr/share/gphoto2/konica/spanish: (inode 1895327) not found on tape
set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] y

3 ) What does this 'Warning: undefined file type' message means ?
4 ) Which volumes is 'restore' asking for ?
5 ) Could this be caused by the -v option I typed while doing my 'dump' =
?
6 ) Why does it couldn't find the requested file ?
7 ) What does this 'owner/mode' question means ?
