You'd have to modify dump a bit since it insists on a special device to dump from (and make dump+restore work on linux). Or he can use vbackup & vftp from plan9ports. vbackup can read a variety of filesystems and archive them to a venti server. vftp can be used to retrieve files from venti. None of the three require root privs and already work on linux. http://swtch.com/plan9port/Received on Mon Jun 09 2008 - 19:06:27 UTC
