I have used dump/restore and dd as well. For a block size, I chose 102400

Dump/restore is not limited to making a whole image, blanks and all like dd.
Once upon a time, I used this as the best:
dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad1 bs=10240

Thank you. I hadn't thought of that. This is what I
appreciate about groups like this.
