Description : The dump package contains both dump and restore. Dump examines files
: in a filesystem, determines which ones need to be backed up, and
: copies those files to a specified disk, tape, or other storage medium.
: The restore command performs the inverse function of dump; it can
: restore a full backup of a filesystem. Subsequent incremental backups
: can then be layered on top of the full backup. Single files and
: directory subtrees may also be restored from full or partial backups.
:
: Install dump if you need a system for both backing up filesystems and
: restoring filesystems after backups.
