Been using dump for backups for years on a variety of unices and tape
drives.  Works just fine.

On FreeBSD 3.0 I am using a Seagate 4mm SCSI DAT drive.  I backup my 3.1
system over the network to the 3.0 system using rdump.  Works just fine.

I can say 'works just fine' because I have had the opportunity to restore
from the backups I have made, both full volume and single file.

The interactive restore is very nice.
