Linked from dump's home page <http://dump.sourceforge.net/>, the dump (not) 
deprecated FAQ:

<http://dump.sourceforge.net/isdumpdeprecated.html>

Any problem with dump is also a problem with all other backup schemes. Even 
if you choose to use another solution, you should read this FAQ to see what 
issues you might encounter, as much of it is about generic stuff not 
specific to dump.
