	If I remember correctly ...
	There is a paper out there - now somewhat old but I believe
available on-line - that compares various backup/restore methods
for UNIXish systems.
	The conclusion was: many things can work for specific needs, but
dump/restore is the only one that does the comnplete job every time.
