Well, this seems to work, only I haven't a clue how to restore after 
this. I was able to execute the following subsequent commands without error:
# /sbin/dump 0uf /dev/nst0 /
# /sbin/dump 0uf /dev/nst0 /var

But when I try to do an interactive restore with
# /sbin/restore -i

/sbin/restore > what
Dump   date: Thu May  8 14:35:05 2003
Dumped from: the epoch
Level 0 dump of / on <my hostmname>:/dev/sda1
Label: none

How do I get to the part of the tape where the second dump (of /var) is 
located? 'man restore' isn't providing me enough clues :-(
I haven't looked in detail at your script, is it logging where on the 
tape the /var dump got dumped? Do I need to manually advance the tape 
there and then /sbin/restore -i /dev/nts0?

Thanks,
Tim
