this module - contact me to obtain the original distribution.

This revision incorporates suggestions contributed from the net as
well as some code cleanup engendered from a fresh look at the
program.
The dump level for dailies and weeklies can now be specified with the
dl or wl switches. Omitting them causes 5 and 4 to be used as the
default level (set by #define's).
The somewhat awkward use of #define's to group printf strings together
has been eliminated in preference for moving the strings to where they're
used. The comment /* EDIT THIS */ now flags the location of site-
dependent strings.
Re-structuring the code inflated the patch file to be larger than the
original. Included is the new mdump.c and mdump.8 man page.
Release 2.5 of OSx for the Pyramid 90x has changed the exit code of a
successful dump from 1 to 0. Either revise dump.h and recompile dump,
or change mdump to check for 0 rather than 1.

X * mdump -- put daily/weekly backups onto a single tape
X *
X * Mdump simplifies the tedious process of daily and weekly backups by
X * putting all daily backups onto a single tape. Weekly backups are
X * performed the same way. The /etc/dumptab file defines the file
X * position on the tape each filesystem is written at and the day of
X * the week the weekly backup is done. Filesystems that are scheduled
X * for a weekly backup are marked with a dummy file on the daily tape
X * so that file numbering remains constant. The same is done for dailies
X * on a weekly tape.
X *
X * usage: mdump [-d] [-w] [-dl n] [-wl n] [-l] [-e] [-t day] [-f [host:]/dev/rmtx] [-db]
X *
X * -d write daily backups with default dump level of DAILY
X *
X * -w write weekly backups with default dump level of WEEKLY
X *
X * -dl n write daily backups at dump level n
X *
X * -wl n write weekly backups at dump level n
X *
X * -l suppress generation of the listing file
X *
X * -e run listing code after an error exit
X *
X * -t day run mdump for day (sun - sat) instead of today
X *
X * -f [host:]/dev/rmtx tape device name. If the host: prefix
X * is used, the backup tape will be written over the network to
X * the tape drive on the named host.
X *
X * -db Write debug information to stderr
X *
X * NOTE to installers: Site dependent commands have been flagged in the
X * code with the comment "EDIT THIS".

X * Revision 1.10 85/09/11 14:06:08 root
X * Changed pr command to use two column printing instead of three. -pbp

X * Revision 1.8 85/08/14 13:45:47 paul
X * Revamped dump level selection with inclusion of wl and dl switches,
X * removed w and d as superfluous. Moved commands back to the sprintfs
X * that use them.
X *
X * Revision 1.7 85/08/07 16:30:08 paul
X * Added bare-bones System 5 defines (index -> strchr, etc). Large hacks
X * needed to do the same for the mag tape ioctls. Another day, far away.

X.SH DESCRIPTION
X.I Mdump
Xsimplifies the backup procedure for systems with multiple filesystems
Xby putting all daily and/or weekly backups onto a single tape.
X.PP
XThe order and selection of filesystems to be dumped is determined by
X.I /etc/dumptab
Xand by the options
X.BR \-d ,
X.BR \-w ,
X\fB\-dl \fIn\fR and
X\fB\-wl \fIn\fR.
X.B \-d
Xselects daily backups to be done at the default daily dump level of 5;
X.B \-w
Xselects weekly backups with a default dump level of 4.
XThe
X.B \-wl
Xand
X.B \-dl
Xswitches respectively take the weekly and daily dump level from the following
Xargument
X.IR n .
XSpecifying both of (
X.B \-d
Xand
X.B \-w
X) or (
X.B \-dl
Xand
X.B \-wl
X)
Xcauses daily and weekly backups to be selected.
XA dummy file is inserted on the tape for non-selected filesystems
Xto preserve file ordering.
X.PP
XThe
X.IR st (8)
Xcommand (set tape) will position the backup tape to the correct tape
Xfile for restores.
X.PP
XThe backup device is selected with the
X.B \-f
Xoption.
XRemote backup over the network is accomplished by specifying the device
Xname in the same manner as
X.IR rdump (8),
Xe.g., uiucuxc:/dev/rmt0.
X.PP
XAfter
X.I mdump
Xhas finished writing the dump files,
Xa listing of each dump will be created and sent to the \s-1IBM\s0 printers
Xunless the
X.B \-l
Xoption is given to suppress the listings.
X.PP
XIn the case of positioning errors during the listing phase of
X.IR mdump ,
Xhanging rsh commands are the usual cause,
X.B \-e
Xwill execute the listing phase of
X.I mdump
Xonly.
XAt least one of the flags
X.B \-d
Xand/or
X.B \-w
Xmust be specified in addition to the
X.B \-e
Xflag.
X.PP
XTo run
X.I mdump
Xas though it were a different day of the week, e.g.,
Xcreate or list a Monday tape on Wednesday, the
X\fB\-t \fIday-of-week\fR
Xflag is supplied where
X.I day-of-week
Xis one of mon, tue, wed, etc.
X.SH NOTES
XIn the case where
X.I mdump
Xfound no files to dump,
Xthe subsequent listing phase will complain that
Xit "Cannot find file dump list".
X.I Mdump
Xwill print a message saying that the list command exitted abnormally
Xand ask whether to continue.
XEntering 'y' directs
X.I mdump
Xto continue listing the other filesystems.
XAny other response causes an exit.
X.SH FILES
X/etc/dumptab, /etc/dump
X.SH "SEE ALSO"
Xdumptab(5), dump(8), rdump(8), st(8)
X.SH BUGS
XNo provision is made for tape overflow.
XThis is an incentive to use 6250 bpi drives.
X.PP
XAny tape error means restarting
X.I mdump
Xfrom the beginning.
