This depends upon the version of dump and the platform.
Linux dump groks directories anywhere on the disk, not just partition
device names or mount points. But, the version I'm using doesn't
store dump levels for anything except a full partition or mountpoint.
A subdirectory below the mountpoint can be backed up with dump but the
dump timestamps aren't recorded. Or something like that.
