I have used dump/restore and dd as well. For a block size, I chose 102400
which was the fastest -- but still slow compared to dump/restore.
Dump/restore is not limited to making a whole image, blanks and all like dd.
Once upon a time, I used this as the best:
dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad1

Copying with dd(1) is not as fast :)
Have you tried dcfldd? sysutils/dcfldd
Thank you. I hadn't thought of that. This is what I
appreciate about groups like this.

Right :) It also allows restoring in a different partition layout.
Any chance of there being a way
