dump is a Unix program used to
backup file systems, it operates on blocks, below filesystem
abstractions such as files and directories. Dump can back up a file system to a tape or another disk. It is often used across a
network by piping its output through bzip2 then
SSH. A dump utility first appeared in Version 6 AT&T
UNIX.
