[SOLVED] Where is dump/restore?

I've got my system all setup the way I want it and want to make a backup.  But for the life of me, I cannot find which package contains dump and restore for ext3.  What am I missing?

As mentioned, the 'dump' package isn't in the official binary repositories. It is hosted as a PKGBUILD in the AUR instead.

Read up on how to use PKGBUILD's here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS … ild_System

Re: [SOLVED] Where is dump/restore?

Hi all, thanks a lot for the welcomes and helpful responses!  I should have looked in the AUR first as I had already built some packages from it.  Doh!
