According to Brandon Gillespie: > Does anybody USE dump/restore anymore? I've been using the Digital Unix Yes, anytime I have to do a backup I use dump. Much easier to deal with, especially when restoring a file, than tar/cpio/pax. > equivalent 'vdump' and 'vrestore' for a while now, and it has a lot more > capability than the older dump/restore (such as compression 8) I'd never use any compression -- except hardware-based like DAT's -- because you can't recover much if your tape have a problem... I'm against compressed file systems for that very reason too. I'd rather buy another disk to have more space. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #18: Sun Jun 8 15:32:28 CEST 1997
