DUMP (dump and restore backup commands)

|
|
Dump examines files in a filesystem, determines which ones need to be backed
|
|
|
|
up, and copies those files to a specified disk, tape or other storage medium.
|
|
|
|
Subsequent incremental backups can then be layered on top of the full backup.

The restore command performs the inverse function of dump; it can restore a
|
|
|
|
full backup of a filesystem. Single files and directory subtrees may also be
|
|
|
|
restored from full or partial backups in interactive mode.

Slackware's tar package already has rmt, therefore this SlackBuild
|
2010-05-13 00:40:08 +02:00
|
|
|
excludes it.

This SlackBuild disables the SELinux functionality and dependency.

Note that Slackware comes with another "restore" command: /usr/sbin/restore
|
|
|
|
The package built by this SlackBuild however will install: /sbin/restore
|
|
|
|
Thus you might need to call the dump package restore by its full path.
