Does anyone know of an online post comparing the pros and cons of dump and tar? I've been readng the man pages, trying to decide betwen the two. I just got a 20/40 DLT and will be looking to do backups on the FreeBSD machine, but I'll also need to pull stuff from Windows 2k and OpenBSD. (Maybe samba/nfs mounts to FreeBSD?). If anyone has comments or suggestions, I'd like to hear them. This is not intended to start a flame war, just looking for a comparison of the two to help me make my choice. Specifically, are they any positives or negatives not mentioned in the man pages? Thanks in advance. -Otter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
