Hi all,

I was thinking of using dump/restore way to backup files on the system. I
heard sometime ago that FreeBSD dump was insecure. So, I am wondering if
this is still the case, and how insecure it is, or what the fixes for it?
I would like to know more about it if possible,

Thanks a lot,

Hassan
