Summary : Programs for backing up and restoring ext2/ext3 filesystems
URL : http://dump.sourceforge.net/
License : BSD
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.
