2019-08-19Add -D flag to allow the user to specify an alternate dumpdates file.perseant
Closes PR #54469.
2019-03-25Bump date for previous.wiz
2019-03-25Add -U flag to dump(8) and dump_lfs(8) to specify dumpdates entrymanu
This address situations where dump(8) cannot figure out the device being dumped. It also allows tracking of subvolume dumps by using virtual device as dumpdates entry.
2018-07-15Document what rdump is (was once) for. PR 53442.dholland
2016-08-15dump was there from v4.sevan
Confirmed from the TUHS hosted copies of man pages. Bump date.
2015-08-24Default the read block size (-k default value) to kern.maxphys (usuallybouyer
64k these days). This gives a noticable performance boost on large filesystems.

2009-01-30Use indent-synopsis instead of iS register. The latter is a registerenami

2008-08-12We don't need to dump WAPBL log files - don't dump files with SF_LOGsimonb
flag set, and document this.

2005-04-19Snapshot support for dump(8):hannken
- New option `-x backup' takes the dump from a snapshot backed up by `backup'. The snapshot will be deleted on exit. - New option `-X' as a synonym for `-x mountpoint' where `mountpoint' is the file system to be dumped. Reviewed and Approved by: Manuel Bouyer <bouyer@netbsd.org>
2003-08-07Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.agc
Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22308, verified by myself.
2003-05-26* Document $RCMD_CMD in environ(7).lukem
* Cross-reference rcmd(1), rcmd(3), and environ(7) as appropriate. Should fix [bin/21670] from Geoff Wing.
2003-03-27Use "wall -g operator" (instead of private code) to broadcast() messages tolukem
members of the operator group. Don't install "setgid tty", and remove now unnecessary gid/egid swapping. Remove utmp trawling code pulled in from usr.bin/who. The Code is now simpler, and more portable (without the utmp cruft) too. This is derived from similar work in OpenBSD.
2003-02-25.Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation orwiz
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.
2003-02-04"Utilize" has exactly the same meaning as "use," but it is moreperry
difficult to read and understand. Most manuals of English style therefore say that you should use "use".
2002-10-01New sentence, new line. By Robert Elz with minimal fixes.wiz
2002-02-26Typo fix, from jslag@prop.walkerart.org via OpenBSD.wiz
2002-01-21Fix typo in macro.wiz
2002-01-07For -l: specify the timeout on the command line (in seconds) instead ofbouyer
hardwiring it to 2s, as suggested on tech-userlevel.
2001-12-30Add -a to "auto-size" the tape, rather than relying upon other optionslukem
to define the tape size. Requires the tape driver to either return ENOSPC at end of media, or 0 when a write is attempted (such as the "early warning" support in st(4) enabled with "mt eew 1"). From FreeBSD.
2001-12-14Add a -l (autoload) flag. For multivolume dumps, this makes dump eject thebouyer
tape when a volume is full, and try to reopen the tape drive for 2 mn. To be used with tape changers which load the next tape when the current one is ejected. While I'm there fix eject handling for remote tape.
2001-12-07One '\' too many.wiz
2001-11-16relax the restriction on -F that the file system image argument must be alukem
regular file
2001-10-15Whitespace fixes, sort SEE ALSO, sort sections.wiz
2001-10-15Add the capability for dump to print timestamps on all informationalblymn
messages.
2001-08-14- implement -F, which indicates that files-to-dump is a regular filelukem
containing a file system image (instead of being a single file as part of a subtree dump) - use "file system" instead of "filesystem" or "file-system"
2001-06-05Drop arguments of .Os.wiz
2001-05-28* improve parsing of file-systems-to-dump when a path is given:lukem
- if it's a path to an unmounted file-system listed in /etc/fstab, use that instead of assuming the user wanted a subtree dump of the parent directory. this restores the behaviour of dump before the subtree dumping code went in. - if it's a path to a mounted file-system which is not in /etc/fstab, use the info from getmntinfo(3). previously, dump would choke. * implement error checked malloc(), calloc(), strdup(), and use appropriately (some of the calloc()s weren't being checked) * use 'file-system' instead of 'filesystem' in the man page
2001-05-07Add a new option "e" to "dump" which allows to eject tapes automaticallytron
if a tape change is required.
1999-07-01Note the default tape device is taken from _PATH_DEFTAPE in /usr/include/paths.habs
1999-06-28Default device is nrst0 not rst0abs
1999-03-23Implement a read cache, as announced on tech-userlevel. Default is 32kbouyer
read buffer size, 512 buffer or 15% of the user memory. Can be changed with the -k and -s options.
1999-03-09Handle "nodump" flag on directories, by not dumping any files or directoriesbouyer
under it. Based on some parts of PR 6705 by Brian Grayson. In the Makefile, add (commented out) debug options that can be turned on.
