Hmm, not familiar with "dump" or "restore", but what I would suggest,
i am. very good tools, maybe except restore slowly processes directory
listings when >10 millions file are in backup. but restores fine anyway :)
dump is always fast, -L is very useful things, but manual mksnap+dump
may be more useful if more than one copy needs to be done.
works directly (-a) with SCSI tapes and with DVD+RW drives (with
/dev/acd*).
i'm using it over a year in FreeBSD (and 3 years at all) and it works.
i had to do full restore 2 times one because of disk crash, other time
after doing rm -rf / instead of rm -rf /a (where a was temporary
directory) because i missed just this a :)
incremental dumps are most important to me, nothing else really works that
way, while gtar is said to ;)
use chflags nodump to flag /tmp/* and other dirs that are not important.
