it gives me not any error message or anything else, it just stops and, afte=
r
exiting with Ctrl+C, no process are viewed with >top but if I use somekind
of >fuser it displays me some process regarding dump and the <filename>.
The fact is that I've tried with both the devices /dev/hdb and /dev/hdb1
(filesystem to dump) and sometimes it arrives to 70% and it gives is always
the same thing: it stops.

thank you in advance
Vincent
