The dump and restore backup suit was ported to Linux's Second Extended File System by Rémy Card <card@Linux.EU.Org> He was the maintainer of the initial versions of dump (up and including 0.4b4, released in january 1997). I decided to continue the developpement and release a new version. Rémy didn't respond to any mail I sent to him, so I have promoted myself as the new maintainer :) So, starting with 0.4b5, the new maintainer is me, Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net>.
