I say this every time backups get mentioned but I have to say it again.  I
like dump.  Dump and restore are a perfect set of tools that solve the
backup problem neatly and flexibly.  And so far have not let me down for
either fat finger recovery or for full disk recovery.

I find it silly that this tool that is integrated with the OS and woks so
well is overlooked by everyone. Even by the certification folks.

Let me say it again.  I like dump. Maybe I need to write up a blog article
or something.
