<header>Filesystem Backup</header>
|
|
|
|
This module allows you to backup and restore entire filesystems using the
|
|
<tt>dump</tt> and <tt>restore</tt> family of commands. Filesystem backups are
|
|
normally made to tape, but can also be saved to a file on another filesystem
|
|
if you do not have a tape drive. <p>
|
|
|
|
On some operating systems, the <tt>tar</tt> command will be used instead when
|
|
backing up a filesystem that does not have a native <tt>dump</tt>. For example,
|
|
NFS, FAT and Reiserfs have no filesystem-specific backup commands. The
|
|
<tt>tar</tt> format cannot store certain advanced file information,
|
|
such as ACLs, EXT and XFS attributes, so it is preferable to use the
|
|
<tt>dump</tt> format where possible. <p>
|
|
|
|
The main page of the module contains a list of configured backups
|
|
(if any), a button for adding a new backup and a button for restoring a backup
|
|
of some filesystem type. <p>
