A.C.G.Saunders@newcastle.ac.uk (Aidan Saunders) (12/17/89)

Does anyone know of an incremental dump program (like Unix dump)
for the PC ?

Thanks!

GNUtar has a special incremental mode where it stores a directory
of each directory it is saving along with a flag indicating whether
each file is present in the current archive.  During a restore, it
can then delete any files that aren't supposed to be there (i.e. were
deleted between the full backup and the time the incremental was taken.
It can be compiled for unix or DOS.
