The norewind device name will be the same as the device you're currently writing to with an n in front. e.g. /dev/nst0 > If 0 is a full dump and 1 - 9 are incremental dumps, what's the difference > between the different levels? Each level backs up data changed since the previous dump at a lower level. If you only use two levels there's no difference. 0 followed by 2 is the same as 0 followed by 1. There is a difference if you use multiple levels: 0 backs up everything 1 backs up everything changed since the last level 0 2 backs up everything since the last level 1 and so on ... You should know that use of dump under Linux is deprecated and not guaranteed to work reliably.
