dump and restore

dump and restore

The dump and restore programs are standard filesystem backup utilities used on many UNIX systems. These commands are only used with EFS filesystems. Refer to "xfsdump and xfsrestore" to dump and restore XFS filesystems. The dump program makes incremental backups of entire filesystems.

Use restore to retrieve files from a dump archive. With restore, you can restore an entire filesystem or specific files. It also has an interactive mode that lets you browse the contents of an archive, select specific files, and restore them.
