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.

SLACKWARE ISSUES WITH DUMP/RESTORE/RMT
|
|
|
|
Dump package conflicts with these two files from the tar package:
|
|
the rmt man page: /usr/man/man8/rmt.8.gz
|
|
and the restore application: /usr/sbin/restore
|
|
Installing the dump package will overwrite these files.
|
|
|
|
Should you remove the dump package, you may note that the two files
|
|
referred to above will not be removed because they are "shared" with
|
|
the tar package. You will need to reinstall the stock tar package.
|
|
|
|
With regards to rmt, the tar package installs it to /sbin/rmt while the
|
|
dump package installs it in /usr/sbin/rmt - these two are not identical.
|
|
You can be sure to call the relevant rmt application by qualifying the
|
|
full path to the desired rmt executable.
