next question is how I could make it finish (estimation + tape writing)
within 8 hours?? Would ufsdump solve the problem or should I somehow split

Within the limits of ufsdump (only whole partitions, no excludes, less

the directories (how?)

Splitting Large Filesystems with gnutar include/exclude:

(this used to be weekly question)
See also the lst example in docs/disklist.

But the estimates would still take a long time.
