I'm working on ways to produce an image of a Linux machine with the Grub boot
loader, and place the image on an SMB network share.
I've successfully done so with dd, but another admin highly recommends using
dump, to verify mbr preservation. I've never used dump for this.
What would be the recommended command line to use dump?
My dd command is:
dd if=/dev/hda | gzip -c | split -b 2000m - /mnt/smb_share/backup.img.gz

I've successfully created the image with the above, then successfully restore
via:
cat /mnt/smb_share/backup.img.gz.* | gzip -dc | dd of=/dev/hda
I do this booting from a CentOS 4.4 Live CD.
What would be the equivalent for dump?
Thanks.
Scott
