Questions
Please understand I am a novice to the "dump" command when answering the following questions. Thank you for the help!
1) From what I understand running, a full backup with the "dump" command does not backup existing snapshots. Is this correct?
2) It looks like if you want to backup snapshots, you must backup a particular snapshot one at a time. Is this correct?
3) If I do a full restore (if the file system on the filer completely crashed) from a backup created by the "dump" command on the filer, it looks like I must first create the exact qtree structure which was previously on the filer before I can run the full restore. Is this correct?
