dump

dump n.  1. An undigested and voluminous mass of information
   about a problem or the state of a system, especially one routed to
   the slowest available output device (compare {core dump}), and
   most especially one consisting of hex or octal {runes}
   describing the byte-by-byte state of memory, mass storage, or some
   file.  In {elder days}, debugging was generally done by
   `groveling over' a dump (see {grovel}); increasing use of
   high-level languages and interactive debuggers has made such tedium
   uncommon, and the term `dump' now has a faintly archaic flavor.
   2. A backup.  This usage is typical only at large timesharing
   installations.
