BUGS
It might be considered a bug that this version of dump can only handle
ext2 filesystems. Specifically, it does not work with FAT filesystems.

dump only works on ext2 then? Not ext3

ext3 = ext2 + journal, so should work.

I suspect it may be more a case of requiring stat(2) to work properly - vfat fails to do this properly.

or reiser or vfat? The old unixes

Just to point out, that was the version of dump I happened to look at the man page of. for proper info, look at:

AVAILABILITY
The dump/restore backup suit is available from
http://dump.sourceforge.net

had the dd command and dump and restorr. Is there really no difference in dump and dd output to a file ?

yes. afaics, dump only dumps files that have changed:

$ man dump
....
DESCRIPTION
Dump examines files on an ext2 filesystem and determines which files need
to be backed up...
