# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| dump: dump (dump and restore backup commands) dump: dump: Dump examines files in a filesystem, determines which ones need to dump: be backed up, and copies those files to a specified disk, tape or dump: other storage medium. Subsequent incremental backups can then be dump: layered on top of the full backup. dump: dump: The restore command performs the inverse function of dump; it can dump: restore a full backup of a filesystem. Single files and directory dump: subtrees may also be restored from full or partial backups in dump: interractive mode.
