Hello Paul,

Interesting. But still: Either dump or restore needs to understand the  
filesystem so that the TOC can actually be generated into the stream or  
from the stream. And presumably one can't restore the data backed up from  
one filesystem to a disk with a different filesystem directly.

Indeed I found only a dump for ext2fs so far (I'm using Linux).

Also dump can do incremential dumps. Does it do them filewise or just from  
the uninterpreted disk content?

Thanks for the information!

Jens
