Sorry this will not help .. I'm also looking for information.
I have being looking for a nice Linux way to do bk on my HP24 DAT.
I know about tar, cpio, afio,BRU and $Arkeia$ .. but how does dump compare to these in speed, file accesbility and reliability?
For now I use BRU .. but I can say I like it very much, it is so Slowww to do anything bk or retrieve .. bk I can live with but retrieving Ouff !
Is dump any good ?
thanks,
