What does it mean by
| DUMP: You can't update the dumpdates file when dumping a subdirectory
?
I believe Gene said something earlier about dump not being able to handle
subdirectories. I didn't use tar on the photo directory because they are
already compressed, but does this mean that I need to set gnutar after all?
Yes indeed. Dump does whole filesystems. Some implementations
of dump (like yours) can handle a level 0 dump of a subdirectory,
but not incrementals of them.
Switch to gnutar if you want to backup things smaller than a complete
filesystem.
Tar has nothing to do with compression. That is a different option
that can be applied to both dump or tar backups.
