I'm new to amanda but I've been administering UNIX servers for a while.
Dump is for dumping whole filesystems not directories. Tar is more
versatile. I believe in the amanda.conf you can specify DUMP or GNUTAR as
the dump mechanism. If you used GNUTAR you'll be able to dump only
directories.


Thanks, this is good info.

Is tar also faster than dump?
