[CLUE-Tech] Backup media and programs opinions?

[Dave Hahn]

There are nasty stories floating about saying that dump has quite a few
problems.  (Undetected data corruption, data on tape not matching the data
on the system.)

That said, I've used it and not had problems.  Love the restore procedure.
just cd and ls your way around the catalog and mark what you want to
restore.

What would be the advantages of using tar directly to the tape instead of
'dump'?  I've been using dump for a while now but I'm open to new options.
