Brett, I belive this was discussed a couple of weeks ago, Should be in the archives.. A bit of digging may result in further info. But if I'm not mistaken the outcome was running dump on the system the file is to get dump'ed to. Not on the system being dump'ed. The idea (As I saw it) was to pull the data versus pushing the data.. I'm geussing something like this to dump host2 on host1. host1% dump /filename /nfs/host2 I've never used dump, So don't bank on it.. :) I'm going from memory of something I belive I read here on -questions.
