[Q] vdump question

Hello all,

My question is this. I have a backup csh script that I use to backup our unix
machines. I normally backup by partitions, backing up the entire partition but
there is a case which I want to backup only select directories on a partition.
I thought I modified my script to do this yet it tries to backup the entire
partition( including the directories that I dont want backeduped). Can anyone
advise me of my mistake?

Thanks,
Greg

                                                                 
Here is a segment of the script:

 echo "[ALTHEA /stuff/gopher]"
 rsh althea '/sbin/vdump -0 -u -b 60 -f - /stuff/gopher' | dd of=$device bs=60

This is a segment of what is echoed to the screen.

[ALTHEA /stuff/gopher]
path : /stuff
dev/fset : bigthree#data^M
type : advfs
advfs id : 0x302a1137.00026d70.1
