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
|
|
|
|
|
excludes it.

Should you remove the dump package, you may note that this file will not be
|
|
|
|
|
deleted because it is "shared" with the tar package. You may opt to reinstall
|
|
|
|
|
the stock tar package after uninstalling the dump package.

Hint: # slackpkg reinstall tar
