you can dump any of filesystems (entire filesystem)
simplified example
dump .... / - will dump root, but won't dump /var, /usr etc
I've not read the article yet, but thanks, This is something what I was looking for. I'll post my question about this after trying it, but as you said it wont dump /var and /usr. This is what I read in the internet too. Generally people make /var and /usr as different partitions on their HD and / just contains the link for it but I just have 2 partitions swap and /. So if I do dump of / then shouldn't it include /var and /usr too.
