-1.	Make dump honor the no-dump attribute on directories.  Currently, it
-	honours it only on files.  This means that a directory flagged with
-	the no-dump attribute will be dumped if it contains a file without
-	the no-dump flag.

-2.	Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one
+Need to verify:
+---------------
+
+1.	Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this
+	was ported from *BSD and was not tested - in fact, this
+	wasn't even compiled in!). Need success reports for this.
+
+Urgent items (for the next stable version):
+-------------------------------------------
+
+All others:
+-----------
+
+1.	Make dump able to backup several directories and/or files in one
 	invocation, like the SunOS version.
+
+2.	More documentation? Examples, crontab?
+
+3.	Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems 
+	(lseek/read negative count) (This should be OK as of 0.4b14).
+
+4.	Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and
+	make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation
+	of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a 
+	(v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we
+	already have the code for this). The BSD code in traverse.c
+	(all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend.
+
+5.	Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making
+	it able to debug dump with gdb.
+
+6.	Add a compression mode using zlib on each file (see
+	http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib).
+
+7.	Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible...
+
+8.	From Kjetil Torgrim Homme <kjetilho@ifi.uio.no>:
+	  a archive_file
+	     Archive file. Archive a dump table-of-contents  in
+	     the   specified   archive_file   to   be  used  by
+	     ufsrestore(1M) to determine whether a file  is  in
+	     the dump file that is being restored.
+
+9.	Add a '--new-volume-script' option to dump (and restore),
+	such as found in tar.
