Has anyone experimented with use of dump(8) and restore(8) on
a DOS filesystem? I'm a bit timid about trying it, even though
normal R/W use of DOS filesystems seems to be rock solid.
I suppose dump would run without ill effects. But there are
some questions:
Q: Does dump know how to set DOS's archive bit?
Q: How safely would restore work?
The alternative is to boot DOS and use some proprietary pkg.
I'm currently running 2.2.2-R; solid as a rock, 2940 and all.
