[Sunhelp] sunos 4.1.3

Try something like this:

dump 0ubf 126 /dev/nrst4 /
dump 0ubf 126 /dev/nrst4 /usr
dump 0ubf 126 /dev/nrst4 /var

The "n" is for "no rewind".
As for the /dev/nrst4, use "mt" to find which number to use:

	example:  mt -f /dev/nrst4 status

You should get back something about the tape drive and the tape that is mounted
in the drive.  If it comes back with something like no such device, try another 
number.

Back when I worked on SunOS 4.1.3 systems I thought the defauts were rst4 and rst5.
SCSI targets 4 and 5 were originally used for tape drives back then.

Hope this helps
