Yes. Dump (http://dump.sf.net). Has all the features you'd expect (or at least
that I would. It is a standard (or at least common) *NIX tool.
It is very stable, but is active in the sense that bugs get fixed when the are
found. Great support on the mailing list.
Use the non-rewinding device (i.e. /dev/nst0) when dumping more than one
filesystem. (Everyone asks this)
