- Subject: Dump/Restore Update
- Index: sbin/{dump,restore} 4.4BSD-alpha
-
- Description:
- A new version of dump and restore is now available which fixes
- several major bugs:
-
- In some instances, the NET/2 dump would fail to include unchanged
- intermediate directories making it difficult to extract files on
- the tape. For example, if /usr/src/sbin/dump/dump.h changed, but
- sbin had not changed, sbin might not be on the tape. The result
- would be that files and directories below sbin, though on the
- tape, could not be restored.
-
- Restore now fully supports POSIX 1003.2 glob'ing. This has been
- done by replacing the adhoc glob code in restore with use of the
- glob(3) function in the C library. Note that the C-library glob
- function needed some minor (backward compatible) modifications to
- support restore. Thus, the modified glob.{c,h,3} is included in
- this distribution. It can either replace the glob in your existing
- C library, or be compiled separately in the restore directory.
-
- Backward compatible changes have been made to dump and restore to
- support the added features in the 4.4BSD filesystems (including
- 32-bit uid/gid, 64-bit file sizes, and file types in directories).

- Fix:
- Copies of the new dump/restore package are available by anonymous
- ftp from ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:ucb/4bsd/dump.restore.tar.Z, or from
- okeeffe.cs.berkeley.edu:pub/dump.restore.tar.Z.
