Backup DUMP/RESTORE file format

[TapeDude]

Hello,

I'm trying to find the definition of FreeBSD's DUMP/RESTORE file structure. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Google is determined to point me towards BSODs, core dumps, the man page for dump, etc, everything exept what I need.

TIA.

Maybe try asking OpenBSD questions on an OpenBSD forum?

Sorry, typo. Fixed.

Read the source?

dump « sbin - src - FreeBSD source tree

cgit.freebsd.org

Thanks. This seems to be what I'm looking for:

dumprestore.h « protocols « include - src - FreeBSD source tree

cgit.freebsd.org

However, I note that it refers to the coming update of ino_t from 32-bit to 64-bit; my understanding is that 64-bit was introduced a few years back?

Yes, https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=318736
