For what you want, you must use tar.  Dump does whole filesystems 
only.  Tar however can do subdirs individually, and includes/excludes 
as long as samba isn't involved.  Watch your tar's version number, it 
s/b 1.13-19 thru 1.13-25.  No one has said yet if the 1.13-9x version 
works that I can recall.

If the newest one works, please advise this list so that we can modify 
our recommendations.

Hope this helps.
