    The FreeBSD handbook used to say that dump was the best. I am curious if you can dump with one filesystem, the restore with another.

    The reason I want to test it is I don't see any obvious distinctions between the BSD (using ufs, presumably) and Linux (using ext2 variants, presumably) version of the tools.

    If both file systems respect all the same security metadata - then probably yes. Obviously, you couldn't dump to a FAT file system, then restore all the security. But, you do specify *nix-like file systems, so you could probably get the job done.
