Starting dump of volume set '<volume set>' (dump set '<dump level>')
The following command displays the list of volumes to be dumped when the
user dumps the C<sys_sun> volume set at the C</full> dump level.
- % backup dump -volumeset sys_sun -dump /full -n
+ % backup dump -volumeset sys_sun -dump /full -dryrun
Starting dump of volume set 'sys_sun' (dump set '/full')
Total number of volumes: 24
Would have dumped the following volumes:
