1: Do NOT use localhost in your disklist, use FQDN's only
2: AFAIK, dump doesn't do subdirs, only partitions, so if
zena /usr/local is just a subdir of zena /, dump is probably dead
although I'll be the first to admit I'm not a dump expert.
3: Because of 2, we're personally bent toward tar, version 1.13-19 or
later. It does all that stuff just fine.
