As has been mentioned, use tar rather than dump. Specifically gnu tar.

Amanda keeps some data around to make things easier. I tarball those up
and toss them onto my backup external drives. I can (and have) taken
that from one machine to another and made the new one the backup server
with no hiccup. One of these days I'll get around to posting an article
on it on my blog, and will let this list know.
