Hello !

I have 2 FreeBSD machines in a local network, connected using TCP/IP
via ethernet cards. Lets call them 1 and 2.

I nfs_mounted HDD of 2 to 1 and then tar xzvf'ed. But I read, that there is
a special utility to do this more productively called dump.

So what do you think is the best way to backup ?

Thanks in advance,
O.N.Kolesnikov.
