An important thought, this. The "-Hustar" option of cpio generated
correct (AFAIK) formatted tar files! At any rate, Solaris likes them. In
general this is not an issue, and I'm told that the current GNU tar also
created conformant archives. If your tar is recent, "why do you use
obsolete software?"
Dump is a great package, although I have been playing with the mondo
package for backup to CD, including bootable startup CD creation. For
some systems that makes sense, they may have to be restored without
tapes or network as a source.
