Re: GNU-Tar vs dump/restore ...

This comes up here every once in a while and is basically a religious
issue.

The points you bring up, as well as being able to do subsets of an entire
file system and portability, are all good reasons to use GNU tar.

I won't use it here because it alters the access time, and the other
benefits don't outweigh that, but that's just my own situation.
