BDump - Automated Dump Scheduling

  1. What it is

What it is

The Bdump Utility takes care maintaining a set of backup dump images for each native filesystem for a given fileserver. Someday this page may even describe it somewhat. There's an ancient document describing it around here someplace, but that document predates kdump.

The name bdump comes from the fact that it is the second version of the adump utility. The name adump stood for "Automated Dump".
