We are running a SLES 8 box which has reiserfs filesystem Can we use
dump and restore in a normal way for a 360GB of data?

no, dump and restore are for ext2,
reiserfs does not have dump. You should use filesystem independent
backup program.

Thanks Vladimir. Is there anything that we can use so that we dump the
filesystem and use pipe to restore it from the input?
By dump (I mean a replacement dump command).
Many thanks again.

Something like tar cp /your_fs | tar xvp -C /your_restore_point ?

Dump is only safe on unmounted or read-only filesystems, btw. It has a nice
interface, but you're better off using tar. See the -g option for
incremental backups.

gnu tar, works much better than unix tar as a dump replacement.
