ufsdump/restore is a reliable backup sulution as long as you install
a mirrored root fs (in case you are using UFS as root fs).
In fact many sites now use a basic backup bethod that is much less
reliable than ufsdump/restore. The fact that they use a high level front 
end does not necessarily remove limitations from the software that is used
as backend. I would never trust a backup sulution that uses e.g. GNU tar
as backend.
