Summary : Administrative utilities for the XFS filesystem
URL : http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/
License : GPL+
Description : The xfsdump package contains xfsdump, xfsrestore and a number of
: other utilities for administering XFS filesystems.
:
: xfsdump examines files in a filesystem, determines which need to be
: backed up, and copies those files to a specified disk, tape or other
: storage medium. It uses XFS-specific directives for optimizing the
: dump of an XFS filesystem, and also knows how to backup XFS extended
: attributes. Backups created with xfsdump are "endian safe" and can
: thus be transfered between Linux machines of different architectures
: and also between IRIX machines.
:
: xfsrestore performs the inverse function of xfsdump; 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 be restored from full or partial backups.
