Little did I know, when I posted this question, that I would receive such a wealth of information. I'm deeply appreciative of the community's willingness to share information and thank each and every one of your for your contributions.

Now I have some reading to do.  :-)



I think there is a difference between what dump does and what tar/ rsync do... I like the idea of doing a bit level backup, rather than a file level backup.

If you've never done a dump, try it locally, and then try restore, particularly interactive restore (restore -i). It's pretty cool and I don't think tar or rsync have anything like it.
