> Is there plans to integrate a compression option into dump and > restore? Unless you do compression on a file basis, a single bit error means that everything after the error is useless. Also, since most newer backup systems have hardware compression built-in, it's not as big a deal as it used to be given that they aren't limited to the single-bit problem due to using CRC's and such which can correct most errors. > Does anybody USE dump/restore anymore? That's all I've been using for years, and still use regularly. (Though not as regularly as I should. :( ) Nate
