Hi Stef!
Our Linux guys tell me that /dev is not a filesystem but a directory. That's 
why it's not in the output from the mount command, nor in the output from the 
df command.
The content is indeed dynamically build up during boot, but the TBMR manual 
specifically states that it should be backed up for the product to work 
properly...
Kind regards,

/dev is a virtual file system that only exist in memory.
Check the output of the mount command:

udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)

I'm pretty sure you don't need /dev for restore since it's build up dynamically 
by udev during boot and while loading kernel modules.
