I can help with nodump...
man 2 chflags
contains
UF_NODUMP Do not dump the file.
and dump(8) has an -h flag to respect the nodump flag.
Basically, if you use -h0 when calling dump, then files that have the
nodump flag (and everything under a dir that has the nodump flag) will
be omitted from the backup.
