This module allows you to backup and restore entire filesystems using the `dump` and `restore` family of commands. Filesystem backups are normally made to tape, but can also be saved to a file on another filesystem if you do not have a tape drive.

On some operating systems, the `tar` command will be used instead when backing up a filesystem that does not have a native `dump`. For example, NFS, FAT and Reiserfs have no filesystem-specific backup commands. The `tar` format cannot store certain advanced file information, such as ACLs, EXT and XFS attributes, so it is preferable to use the `dump` format where possible.

The main page of the module contains a list of configured backups (if any), a button for adding a new backup and a button for restoring a backup of some filesystem type.
