alternatively - use tar.
What I was trying to achieve, which I haven't done yet, was a smallish dump of the
"core system". By that I mean system + ports, without distfiles, etc. Then a
separate dump of user data, which is considerably larger. At this point I am thinking I
should do this:
make clean distclean ports to remove temporary stuff
set /usr/home NODUMP
dump /, /var, and /usr
unset /usr/home NODUMP
dump /usr/home
really - use tar.
dump is not for that, but to QUICKLY dump a filesystem.
on SSD - both are faster than writing to backup target disk.
