Dumping multiple file systems

Greetings Managers,

        This is an extremely basic inquiry regarding using dump to backup
multiple filesystems. I notice that under the man page for dump it states
the syntax is /usr/sbin/dump [key [argument ...] file system] (not
filesystem(s)). Could one simply append multiple filesystems there?
(see? basic)... if not could one use the -N to prevent it from rewinding
the tape and follow with a second dump of a seperate filesystem? My
reason for asking is my root and tmp filesystems are so small I hate to
blow a 1.3 gb tape on a few megs.

Thanks in advance,
Britt
