NetBSD apu1c.bastion.coral.washington.edu 9.99.7 NetBSD 9.99.7 (APU1C_GENERIC) #13: Thu Aug 15 12:14:59 PDT 2019 root%backup.coral.washington.edu@localhost:/ovar/src-current/sys/arch/amd64/compile/obj/APU1C_GENERIC amd64
>Description:
In (at least) FreeBSD and Linux, dump(8) has a flag -D which allows the user to specify a dumpdates file other than /etc/dumpdates. This could be useful for user-mounted media if the user does not have permission to write to /etc/dumpdates; or for keeping multiple independent backup sets.
The patch is straightforward. If there are no objections I'll commit it in a few days.
>How-To-Repeat:
# dump -D mydumpdatesfile -0 -f- /
dump: unknown option -- D
usage: dump [-0123456789aceFinStuX] [-B records] [-b blocksize]
[-d density] [-f file] [-h level] [-k read-blocksize]
[-L label] [-l timeout] [-r cachesize] [-s feet]
[-T date] [-x snap-backup] files-to-dump
dump [-W | -w]
