Linux System - Table 12 > Packages - Table 1 & 2 > dump

\"The dump package contains both dump and restore. Dump examines files ina filesystem, determines which ones need to be backed up, and copiesthose files to a specified disk, tape or other storage medium. Therestore command performs the inverse function of dump; it can restore afull backup of a filesystem. Subsequent incremental backups can then belayered on top of the full backup. Single files and directory subtreesmay also be restored from full or partial backups.\"
