Dump, since it works at the level of the inode structure of the
filesystem, can hand handle full filesystems only. It has no concept
of a subdir as its just another inode to dump. This is also why dump
is specific to the filesystem, meaning you can't use dump ofr ext2
against a reiserfs or dos partition type.
If they fit, this is nice & possibly faster. But if they don't fit, tar
is a much better way to do it.

One thing that seems to bite new users is the exclude files formating
when using tar.
Since tar traverses the directory structure, a file to be excluded must
be specified in ./name format, which will exclude 'name' and if 'name'
is a subdir, all files up that branch will be excluded too.
This is true regardless of whether you are just nameing a single file to
exclude, or in a file specified as full path to file which may contain
a list of names, in which case those names in that file need to be in
that same ./name format.
