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 portable between OS'es) it would be much much faster indeed.
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.
