Once I was writing a 'dump' Amanda plugin, until I discovered that
- support from maintainer of Dump just does not exist
- Dump seems to be a dead project
And from my point of view fatally:
- Dump created dumps that restore couldn't open. It wasn't
restores's fault, the dumps where already output broken.
Thus I'd strongly recommend not to use dump for any sort of a backup you
may need one day.
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
