Is /var its own partition, or just another subdirectory under root? If it is its own separate file system on its own separate partition, then 'dump' is probably the way to go. Use something like: # dump 0uf /dev/nst0 /var There are other variations you might also want to use (for example, maybe someone else here knows how to designate a mode that uses compression on the SDLT -- I never figured that one out). Note, of course, that /dev/nst0 (norewind device) or /dev/st0 (rewind device) *may* not be the right device to point at that particular tape drive, if there are other tape drives on the same system.
