-Valid values for <backup-type> are `cpio' (uses cpio to produce
-tar-format backups), `dump' (uses dump to dump entire filesystems;
-<directory name> should be a mount-point for this), `zafio' (uses afio
-to compress each file as it is backed up), and `ntfsimage' (for NTFS
-volumes, requires device name). Only `dump' type backups perform
-incremental backups.
