How The Backup Process Has Changed

hi

I use dump for backups of my PC and co-workers. (I have developed a long and complex shell
script that dumps , incrementally, multiple partitions to a remote host.)

I dont like the proposed line
  /sbin/dump 0ufa - / | bzip2 > ./localslash`date +%Y%m%d`.bz2

In my backup script I instead  use a line as   
  /sbin/dump -0 -j7 -q -u -f - /  >   ./localslash`date +%Y%m%d`.bz2

A good point of using 'dump -j7' is that it compresses files separately (as 'zip' but unlike
'tar cjf') so that, when needed, 'restore -i' can recover single files fast and conveniently.
