The dump
command is a
program on
Unix and
Unix-like
operating systems used to
back up
file systems. It operates on
blocks, below filesystem abstractions such as
files and
directories. Dump can back up a file system to a
tape or another disk. It is often used across a network by
piping its output through
bzip2 then
SSH.
A dump
utility first appeared in Version 6
AT&T UNIX.
[1] A dump
command is also part of
ASCII's MSX-DOS2 Tools for
MSX-DOS version 2.
