Subject: dump/restore with compression

Is there plans to integrate a compression option into dump and restore?
Does anybody USE dump/restore anymore?  I've been using the Digital Unix
equivalent 'vdump' and 'vrestore' for a while now, and it has a lot more
capability than the older dump/restore (such as compression 8)

Or is there a better alternative?  Should I just stick with gnu tar?
